In the fight which follows, the gambler is accidentally killed. His gang tries to lynch Jack. He is released from prison by Mrs. Lamar, and escapes. Tom Stone and Jim Bland are outlaws. Tom receives a letter from his sister informing him of her journey west. They resolve to hold up the "Oasis," a dance hall and saloon, and with the money send the girl East again. The robbery is easily accomplished, but Bland is fatally wounded. He dies, and Tom puts his own name on the grave's crosspiece, thus hoping to throw the posse oft his trail. Jack sees the grave and conceives the same idea. He places his name on the crosspiece. In leaving he sees Tom's coat and finds Beulah's picture and the swag. He goes to the "Oasis" and there rescues Beulah from the life of a dance hall girl, claiming she is his sister. Through unforeseen circumstances Jack is accused of robbing the "Oasis." He is about to be hung but escapes. At a deserted cabin he finds the real Tom, who has been badly wounded while holding up a stage coach. The sheriffs from the two towns arrive. Sheriff Lamar clears Jack, and Beulah decides that she would rather have Jack as husband than brother. Written by Moving Picture World, June 25, 1921 See less
