Percy Basker, a dude farmhand, is her accepted lover and they are to be married as soon as she has enough money saved up. Ralph pays court to Moitle, but she repulses him. He swears revenge, and prepares to act like a typical villain, but finds that Percy has stolen his cigarettes in order to foil him. Ralph is balked and forswears his revenge until he can get a cigarette. But Percy's father, the constable, prohibits the sale of these articles, and Ralph has to go to another town to get them. Returning Percy foils him again by doping him and shaving his curling black moustaches, without which he cannot work at the trade of villain. Waiting until they are grown again, he seizes the scornful Moitle and ties her to the railroad track. Days pass, but no train comes. Then he learns from a native that "there hain't been a train on this line for more'n five years." As his next play he puts the poor girl in an abandoned cistern and leaves her to her fate. As the water rises higher and higher, Moitle keeps herself from drowning by drinking the water as fast as it comes in. Later Ralph seeks to blow her up, but having no match to light the fuse, borrows one from the unsuspicious Percy. Just at the psychological moment, however, he receives word from the Villains' Union that they had made a mistake and sent him after the wrong girl; Moitle hasn't a cent. So it's all off.
