Her chief plaything is a little gold watch which her father has recently given her. She is heart-broken when she breaks the chain of this prized trinket and weeps bitterly. Billy, a traveler, stopping at the house for a drink, learns the cause of her tears and agrees to take the watch and chain to be repaired. At the jeweler's where he takes it to be mended while he waits, the jeweler recognizes it as one he had sold a few days before to Marie's father, whom he notifies. Meanwhile, Billy returns to the ranch and gives the watch back to Marie, returning at once to town. Soon after his departure another wayfarer appears at the ranch and when he finds little Marie alone, not only takes away her newly- recovered watch and chain but also her father's revolver. Marie, frantic over the loss of her precious watch, resolves to set out on foot to the town to tell her father of the theft. She soon tires, however, and lies down by the roadside to sleep. Meanwhile. Billy getting into an argument with the bad man in town, wounds and disarms him and starts on his way again. The sheriff who is on the look-out for an outlaw, who is supposed to be in the vicinity for whom a reward is offered, hearing a shot comes on the scene. Previously he had heard of the alleged theft of the watch and the two circumstances putting Billy under suspicion, the sheriff sets out to arrest him. A running fight ensues. Just as Billy is down to his last cartridge, he comes across the sleeping child, near whom a rattlesnake is coiled. There is but a moment to decide whether the last shot in the gun shall be used to defend himself or to save the child from the snake and without hesitation, Billy uses it on the reptile. Marie soon clears Billy of all suspicion and the party returning to town meet the bad man, whom Marie at once recognizes as the man who stole her watch. During the struggle to arrest him, the man loses his false whiskers and wig, disclosing the outlaw for whom the sheriff had been in search. After some discussion the reward is given to Marie.Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
