We are first introduced to the western home of a father and daughter. The cowpuncher enters, and we can easily see that his heart is set upon winning the girl's affection in any way that is possible; but the girl evidently has other views upon the subject, as she does not seem particularly overjoyed at his behavior, although her father practically promises her hand in marriage upon the cowpuncher's return from the roundup. Here we are shown a glimpse of the roundup, and in the next scene we are acquainted with the fact that Jim, the cowpuncher, has not been entirely honest in his dealings and now stands in a fair way of having his neck stretched from the branch of a cedar tree by a lynching gang before morning. This information is communicated to another cowboy by his finding of a glove outside of the county jail window, in which glove is a note from the prisoner imploring the finder, in the name of mercy, to give him a chance to start life over again and be honest. The stranger does not know the culprit, nor has he an opportunity of seeing him, but moved by the appeal for help he takes the chance, and succeeds in securing the keys of the jail and throwing them in through the barred window to Jim without either man seeing the other. The only reward he has for his service is the pair of gloves, which are initialed, in which he found the note. Slipping them into his pocket he passes on into the night while Jim, a few moments later, makes his escape without knowing whom or what his benefactor was like. The cowboy who assisted in Jim's escape afterwards meets the girl of the first scene and wins her love. He does not know that her father has promised her in marriage to Jim until he sees a letter from the latter in which he threatens to come and take her away for his wife that very night. The young lover decides to head off his plan, and the two men meet on a swinging bridge over a dangerous chasm. Here ensues another Edison thriller in the way of a desperate fight, which only terminates when Jim discovers his glove in the possession of his antagonist and the truth is revealed to him that this is the man who saved his life from the lynching gang. The lovers are united, and the audience will be found laughing at the quaint situation at the close. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
