One morning, as Hardy is preparing to drive to town, a ragged stranger appears and begs for a bite to eat. Hardy takes him in and, while he hitches the horses, his wife feeds the man who gives his name as Dixon. Hardy drives him into town, gives him some money from a well-filled purse, and Dixon's eyes shift craftily as he thanks him and leaves. Planning to bite the hand that fed him, Dixon now hastens out on the trail, arms himself with a rock, waits for Hardy to drive by, knocks him senseless, secures the purse, and escapes. Some cowboys find Hardy who gasps out his story; the sheriff is notified and starts in pursuit. Dixon is cornered, but with a bullet in his arm he manages to reach Hardy's shack ahead of the boys, and deceives Mrs. Hardy into believing he was wounded while protecting her husband from a posse. She dresses the wound, gives him a revolver and sends him away. A few moments later the boys arrive with Hardy and she learns the truth. Waiting only long enough to see that her husband is well taken care of, she arms herself with his Winchester and starts out on Dixon's trail. Trapped by the surrounding posse, Dixon is battling them from behind a tree when Mrs. Hardy sees him from the trail above. Her gun cracks and Dixon staggers back and sinks to the ground with a bullet through the gun arm. A moment later the posse grab him and hustle him away, while Mrs. Hardy hastens back to the arms of her husband with the purse of money. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
