Rhita, the gun fighter's girl, is extremely fond of their baby, whom Tucson detests and considers an unwelcome intrusion. Tucson commands Rhita to get rid of the baby, and she, afraid to disobey him, leaves it on the bank of a stream, where it is found by Ada Lawson. Ada takes the baby home and she and her husband become very fond of it. The Lawsons are homesteaders and decide to settle on grazing ground just outside the village. They establish themselves and soon afterward are ordered by Santro, a Mexican rancher, to vacate. Lawson refuses to do so and Santro hires Tucson to kill him. Tucson horsewhips Lawson in the village store and orders him never again to enter the village. A few weeks later, however, exhausted supplies make it imperative that Lawson return to town. Tucson is informed of Lawson's presence in town and prepares to carry out his agreement with Santro. Rhita, determined that her baby shall not be deprived of a good man's care, resolves to sacrifice the gun fighter. She fastens his pistol in its holster by means of a rawhide thong, thus making it impossible for Tucson to draw his gun. Tucson proceeds to the village store, where he confronts Lawson. Lawson pulls his gun and shoots Tucson, who is unable to draw his gun. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
