- Tiring of work on the farm, Jack Harper quarreled with his father and went west, bidding a temporary goodbye to his sweetheart, Elsie Nugent. In a Western barroom he was made great fun of as a tenderfoot. Tom Manly, a good-natured gambler, interfered with the cowboys' sport at Jack's expense. Manly took Jack to his cabin and invited him to share it. In a short time Jack began drinking and gambling. Having lost all his money he put up a ring that Elsie had given him and lost that, Manly being the winner. One day in a fit of remorse Jack wrote to Elsie. With a woman's intuition Elsie knew that Jack was in trouble and immediately set out to go to him. Meanwhile Jack had seen an iron box of money loaded in the stage coach. He determined to turn robber. This happened on the very day when Elsie arrived. She met Manly and that gentleman immediately offered to take her to her lover's cabin. When they arrived there Manly saw that Jack had cut a mask from a blanket. He also missed his rifle and realized what the young fellow was about. He excused himself, jumped on his horse and followed Jack, whom be found in ambush waiting for the stage. Manly snatched the mask from Jack's face and persuaded him to come back home, telling him that Elsie was awaiting him. There was a tender meeting between the two. Elsie quickly noticed that her ring was missing from Jack's finger. She asked what had become of it. Manly answered for Jack, saying that he had been keeping the ring for the young man, and therewith he handed it back to him. Then the noble-hearted gambler slipped Jack a roll of money and then disappeared, leaving his grateful pal to enjoy better fortune than he had earned.—Moving Picture World synopsis
