Shortly after he meets Cynthia, a sweet-natured local girl, Ellen, his former lover, arrives from the East and flirts with an Indian to make him jealous. The Indian, who takes Ellen's attentions seriously, sends her some ponies, which she accepts unwittingly as a gift. When she discovers that by Indian custom her acceptance amounts to a marriage agreement, she turns to Jim, promising to marry him in exchange for a way out. Jim kills the Indian in a duel, but Ellen reneges on the deal and jilts him once again. In the gambling saloon, "Smiling Jack" Douglas plots to kill Jim, but Cynthia intercedes by replacing his gun's bullets with blanks. To "Smiling Jack's" surprise, Jim resists his shots and charges him, eventually driving him from the town. His courage proven, the tenderfoot wins the heart and hand of Cynthia. See less
