Bob makes the girl his wife and incurs the hatred of his rival. The sheriff presents Ruth with an Indian pony. Ruth teaches the animal several amusing tricks. Before long the pony seems to understand his mistress' every command. Mexican horse thieves raid Wade's ranch and steal a herd of horses. The rancher seizes the opportunity to accuse Bob of incompetency. To further show Bob's unfitness for office, Wade has one of his cowboys steal Ruth's trick pony. Ruth sees the man making off with the animal. Bob is away at this time, searching for the horse thieves. Ruth tracks the cowboy on foot. The horse thieves hold the man up and steal his horse and Ruth's pony. The girl overtakes the cowboy and he directs her as to the route taken by the thieves. Ruth finds the hut occupied by the Mexicans. Entering, she holds them up with her pistol. She calls her pony and he trots up. Ruth places her neckerchief in the pony's month and orders him to go home. Bob and his men see Ruth's pony racing toward home and overtake the animal. Ruth's neckerchief warns Bob of his wife's peril and he traces the route taken by the thieves. The Mexicans overpower Ruth just as the sheriff rides up with his men. A desperate battle takes place, in which the horse thieves are captured. The horses stolen from Wade are recovered. Bob and Ruth return them to the rancher. Remorse-stricken, Wade pays the sheriff a substantial reward for the recovery of the animals and asks his forgiveness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
