When he is unsuccessful in getting control of it through a marriage with Lady Ramsden, he engages the services of Saunders, the gardener, to get rid of the boy. Saunders accepts the money for the deed and carries the youngster off. They go to the west and little Lord Edward is deposited on the post-office steps, where he is discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Dobson, who take him into their home. The little chap is made much of by the cowboys and seems happy enough in his new surroundings. Fifteen years later, in a moment of contrition, Saunders writes home, telling Lady Ramsden where she can find her boy. When the letter reaches England it is delivered into the hands of Lord Ravenscroft, who, upon seeing the postmark, goes to a secluded nook and reads it. Lady Ramsden, secreted behind a tree, watches him destroy the epistle, and when he goes, gathers the pieces together. These she succeeds in joining and finds her son is living. Her joy is unbounded. Ravenscroft goes to Eagle Crag but is accorded no welcome. Knowing that Lady Ramsden is coming for her boy he plans a hold up of the stage coach. Saunders foils him here and Lady Ramsden is escorted in safety to the post-office, where she and her son are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
