Ralph receives a telegram from a moving picture company asking him to gather fifty cowboys together for a picture. He goes away to make arrangements, and while gone receives a letter from Myrtle complaining of Mong's jealousy and asking for assistance. Myrtle and Ralph meet and are married. The moving picture company arrives and starts rehearsals when George Ralph's brother, intoxicated, breaks up the rehearsals and starts shooting. Myrtle interferes before Ralph can hurt his brother, but not before Ralph is injured. On his way to the doctor, he stops in the saloon, where Mong taunts him about his wife. Ralph shoots and kills Mong, and gets away. Hidden in the house of a friend, he sends word to his brother, asking for an Indian disguise in which to escape across the border. George, responding to Ralph's request, goes to Ralph in the disguise, but he is tracked by detectives. Ralph and George escape from the detectives on a hand car. The detectives pursue them in an automobile and reach the turnpike in time to see an oncoming train rush into the hand car. The two brothers are thrown. Ralph is instantly killed and George is mortally wounded and dies immediately afterwards. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
