A lariat duel is arranged on horseback. Belden makes a lucky throw and drags Jack from his mount and starts over the prairie dragging the helpless lad to certain death. Rose suspected trouble and has ridden in the direction in which she saw both men ride. She comes upon the scene as Jack, unconscious, is being dragged to his death, and riding hard she meets them and at the point of her gun makes Belden halt. Later, as her father discovers that his daughter loves Jack, he prevails on his wife to give their daughter and Jack her blessing. Belden, learning of this, sends a Mexican cattle puncher with a decoy note to the girl, whom he meets some distance from the ranch with her horse and bulldog. Suspecting no harm she follows the Mexican, who takes her to a shack and locks her in, then rides off to inform Belden; but the Mexican overlooked "Yank," the dog, who attacks the door of the shack where his mistress is a prisoner. Rose writes a note, which she forces out through a small crack in the door. The dog grasps it in his mouth and places it in the hands of Rose's mother, whom he sees at the door. She summons her husband and shows him the note, which notifies them that she is held a prisoner. The dog leads them to the shack and Rose is soon liberated. She tells her story to the boys, who start out to round up Belden and his Mexican, which they finally succeed in doing and roping them with lariats, they force the two worthless to go to the ranch and at the point of guns they compel them to kneel and apologize to Rose. The last scene shows the young couple ready to be married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
