In preparation of this the town committee has commanded the constable to close all saloons and drive the gamblers from the community. On the day following her arrival she takes a walk. Unfamiliar with the village, she wanders into a questionable part and is insulted by some toughs. Joe Fraser, the gambler king, befriends her by knocking the insulter down and then offers to show her home, an offer which she gladly accepts. When Richard tells her of the gambler's character, she refuses to believe him until taken past the notice which commands all gamblers, particularly Joe Frazer, to leave town by the 25th. Several days later, Lucille and her father, riding in the mountains, are left stranded when the horses bolt. Back in the village, the gamblers are leaving. Frazer comes upon them, weak from thirst and offers them his horse. They accept and Frazer pushes ahead afoot. He finds a bag, lost by the girl, containing jewels. Several days later the father is persuaded to go in search of her lost jewels. After hours of search they come upon the body of the gambler lying in the sands, dead, the mesh bag on his breast and a revolver in his hand. Gently removing the jewel bag from the man's grasp, all notice a card, the deuce of spades, upon which is written, "It was best; I was out of my class," Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
