The butler gives him a telegram telling of the flooding of several shafts in his mine. He is soon on the way to the mine in his car. Ruth, his daughter, follows in her roadster. In the hills, Cheyenne Harry reads the newspaper account of himself. As he looks at the road below he sees the sheriff and several of his men riding. Harry picks up a stone and succeeds in hitting the sheriff. The sheriff and his men dismount, but they can find no one. Harry has disappeared. Ruth's car sticks fast in crossing a stream, and when she sees Harry riding toward her, she calls to him to help her. At first he refuses, but he finally agrees to let her ride his horse while he leads it. He tells her that he is going to get even with her father by taking her to his hang-out. On the sly, she succeeds in tearing up some of her cards and scattering them along the way. Down by the stream her father and the sheriff meet, and all start to trail the horse, after finding her car. Later they came across the torn cards, and it is an easy matter to find the cave. The sheriff calls to Harry to surrender and he answers with a shot. They exchange many shots and finally Ruth begs him to surrender and trust her. Harry consents and waves a flag of truce, but the sheriff shoots him through the shoulder. Ruth starts to bind Harry's wound and the men come up. She tells them that he is her prisoner, and that she will drive him back to town. The sheriff says a deputy must go along. Ruth agrees, and they start. She drives fast and is soon ahead of the other machine. She has engine trouble and the deputy gets out to see what is the matter. Quickly she starts the car and he is left behind. She drives to the river and points to Harry that his road lies ahead. At dinner that night Ruth has a vision of Harry sitting at the table with her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
