Occasionally, however, a black sheep would be found on a ranch, and until he was discovered and routed, much mischief would be done. Such a man was Black Jack, whose evil doings were checkmated by Ned, a modest, manly fellow whose sweetheart, Elsa, became the subject of Black Jack's distasteful attentions. Rebuffed by the girl, Black Jack's true nature asserted itself, and his importunate suit becoming obnoxious, he was discharged by Elsa's uncle. In revenge he secures the assistance of a band of hostile Indians, waylays Ned and Elsa, and rides off with the girl, leaving her escort lying by the roadside. Ned writes a note to the ranch, pins it to his sombrero, which he attaches to the pommel of his saddle and with a cut of the quirt sends the animal galloping back, while he, on foot, takes up the chase. His rescue of the girl from the Indian camp is spectacular and thrilling, and the pursuit by them of breathless interest. Meantime Ned's mount reaches the ranch, the note is read, and the boys gallop to Ned's assistance at breakneck speed. Ned is being hard pressed when the friendly aid arrives, and in the battle that follows Black Jack receives his just deserts and the Indians are completely routed.
