He awaits his chance to get even with both of them. Dolores goes to town to study singing. Hicks is worried because the drought has decreased his bankroll and Ridgeway, the money lender, takes the ranch as security. Hicks tells Ridgeway to call upon his daughter in the city and this he does, finally taking advantage of her. Time goes on and Dolores returns to find her father very worried over money conditions. She hears that the man who loaned the money will come to claim the ranch. She surprises Ridgeway and her young sister together and sending the girl away she confronts Ridgeway. Their talk is overheard by Carlos, a half-breed, who owes a debt of gratitude to Dolores and the foreman. Bruce would kill Ridgeway, but Dolores begs him not to for her sake and her father's. Carlos goes secretly after Ridgeway after picking up Bruce's gun. Bruce whips the foreman who sneers at Dolores and the foreman arrives at the ranch house at the same time that Ridgeway does. Ridgeway sees the half-breed after him with a gun and hastily persuades the whipped and tattered foreman to put his coat on. The half-breed kills the foreman thinking it is Ridgeway, and Bruce arrives in time to pick up the gun and be suspected of the crime. He is jailed. The half-breed rescues Bruce, and a providential happening enables Hicks to pay Ridgeway off. The latter goes to some Mexicans and persuades them to help him try and get Paquita, the young girl. They succeed in this, hut circumstances cause the sheriff, Bruce and Carlos to arrive in time to save her and to arrest the Mexicans. Ridgeway leaves the others to their fate, but is tracked by Carlos and meets his deserts. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
