He has another enemy, however, in Steve Higgins, a fellow ranchman, who is in love with Doris Maitland, the ranch owner's daughter. Ben is left in charge of the ranch by Maitland. He neglects his duty and goes to a nearby saloon, where he becomes intoxicated. Steve sees a chance "to get his goat" and provokes a quarrel, in which Ben knocks Steve down. Higgins reports Ben's conduct to Mr. Maitland, who reproves Ben and tells him if he repeats the offense he will discharge him. Ben promises to keep from drink and does so until Steve, who again meets him in a saloon, entices him to drink and again tells his boss, who summarily dismisses Ben. Doris meets Ben leaving the ranch. She encourages him, telling him to brace up and redeem himself. He does so, securing a position on another ranch, and being a fine workman and skilled ranchman, he gains the confidence of his new employer by his sober, industrious behavior, and is made manager. Ben goes to town in his employer's automobile, and stopping at the post office, he meets Doris. She is riding a fractious horse, and on her way home the horse runs away with her. She is unable to stop him. Ben sees her danger and instructs the man at the wheel to give chase. It is a hot chase, but Ben, who is an expert lariat thrower, lassos Doris' horse from the tonneau of the auto and quickly brings him to a halt. Doris is all but exhausted. Ben places her in the automobile and they are soon speeding homeward. During their journey Ben proposes to Doris and she unhesitatingly accepts him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
