Mexican Pete, a gambler, offers to escort her. Refusing and ignoring his offer, she rides away. Robert Ranson appears and Pete suggests a friendly game of poker. During the game the Mexican has the better luck of the two, winning $20,000. Ranson, growing desperate, writes upon a card: "I. O. U. my ranch, stock and all against your $20,000." Mexican Pete consents to make the gamble. While the dealing of the cards takes place, Pete takes two cards from his sleeve, substituting them for the cards he had drawn, winning the "pot." Red Eye, an Indian, is the only one in the room who has seen the Mexican's trick, but he does not say anything about it at the time. The next day Mexican Pete comes to Hanson proposing to return the "I. O. U." in exchange for the hand of his daughter in marriage. Ranson weakly resents the proposition, but Rose decides to sacrifice herself to save her father's ranch. Bidding her father good-bye, she starts off with Pete for the office of the Justice of the Peace, to be married. Rose sends Red Eye with a note to Hal Blake, telling of her sacrifice and that she is on her way to be married. Red Eye upon finding Hal, tells him of the Mexican's way of playing cards. Hal then summons the cowboys, who give chase after the Mexican and Rose, arriving just as the Justice of the Peace is about to make them man and wife. Hal, rushing in, stops the services and forces the Mexican to admit he had cheated in the poker game. Turning to Rose. Hal asks her if she still loves him. Rose, looking into his face, says: "You have saved me from a life of misery, I am yours forever." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
