The mortgage was due, and while there were enough cattle to sell to pay it, they were woefully short of men to handle them. Finally Lloyd decided to entrust the job to his son, Hal, and detailed El Paso Pete, one of his trusted men, to accompany the boy to Waco. The cattle were rounded up and shipped. Hal sold them to advantage and collected the money and was on his way to settle the mortgage, when he ran into an adventure. Jim Dempsey, a rough gambler, was having an altercation with his daughter, Rose. A Texan will ever respond to the call of beauty in distress and, regardless of the relationship, Hal interfered and followed them to see it safely through. He was led to a dance hall and was surprised and somewhat disappointed to see that Rose was a dancer there, but discovered that her father forced her to thus earn her living. In order to remain there Hal took several drinks and, while under the influence of liquor, was cheated out of the mortgage money, at poker. When the boy awoke to a realization of what he had done, he wanted to kill himself, but Pete restrained him. A note was brought him from Rose, telling him that he had been cheated, to play with the men again, and watch and he could convince himself. Hal resolved to try this plan, borrowed enough money from Pete to again enter the game, and sure enough they discovered the passing of a card. Pete forced the men to return the money to the boy, and the mortgage was settled. Hal could not return to the ranch without again seeing Rose, and sent her a note to meet him. Her father discovered them, and demanded that his daughter return with him. The girl was torn between love and duty. Should she go with the boy who had asked her to marry him, or remain obedient to her father. It was a hard problem to decide, but she decided. How? Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
