The time came when the loneliness of the vast plains palled upon Madeline; she could not resist longing to return to the life and amusements and action, and when she left she took her baby boy Jack with her. Jack grew up and went West, and finally went to work as a cowboy on his father's cattle ranch; neither realized their relationship. Here he met and fell in love with Anita Carew, the foreman's daughter. One day he received a letter from his mother: she was sick and needed to undergo a major operation. A good position as a sheepherder offered itself and, throwing aside his pride, he took it. He became hated and shunned by all but Anita, who still believed in him. But Jack rebelled at the cattlemen's taunts and soundly thrashed one of them. With this Jeff Albright, his father, decided to drive him from the range. In the meantime Jack's mother arrived at his cabin, and was there when Jeff and his men rode up and delivered the ultimatum. She heard a familiar voice and stepped out. Jeff recognized the woman he had yearned for so many years and cattle feuds were forgotten. And there was the boy, his own son, whom he had come to "clean out." And from there on, well, another story commences there, but it is left to the imagination of the spectator. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
