Jim Andrews takes her part and escorts her away from the saloon, but Bill follows them and shoots him in the shoulder. He's hustled out of the way, but before he goes he threatens that if Bill ever crosses his path again, he will shoot him on sight. Shortly after this Ruth and Jim are married and go to live at the shack on his ranch, where a child is later born to them. A year later Bill Williams returns to the town and gets into a poker game. One of the men detects him cheating and accuses him of it. Bill draws his gun and shoots down his accuser. Covering his retreat with his gun, he gets out, mounts his horse, and rides out of town. The boys quickly form a posse and follow him. He manages to elude them by getting off his horse and climbing a tree. He then makes tracks across the country to a shack he sees in the distance. When he gets there he finds that it's the Andrews' home. Ruth tells him to go at once before Jim, who is sleeping, hears him, or he will surely be killed. Jim wakes up and enters the room. He reminds Bill of the oath he took to kill him and tells him that when the clock strikes, he will fire. Ruth goes back into the bedroom and secures another of her husband's revolvers, and just as Jim is about to fire at Bill, she shoots Jim in the wrist, causing him to drop his gun. Taking possession of the weapon he dropped. Ruth bandages her husband's arm, explaining that she shot at him to save their baby from becoming a murderer's child. At this moment the posse rides up to the house and leads Bill away as a prisoner, that the law may take care of him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
