After a brave fight the father and mother are killed and their wagon burned. Fortunately the child had been sent with a bucket for water, and so escaped death. The Indians are frightened away by a trio of cowboys who have been attracted to the spot by the shooting. Big Jim and his two companions find the child weeping over the bodies of her dead parents and Jim, moved by the pitiful situation of the little orphan, declares that he will take care of her. Fifteen years pass, and Nell has grown up into a beautiful woman, courted by many, admired by all. Jim is about to go on a journey, and he writes a letter to Nell telling her that folks think she ought to be married. Will she marry him? He enters to find Nell embraced and being kissed by Dick, the favored suitor. He tears the letter. Nell, turning quickly, sees him. Jim places the torn letter into the pocket of his old coat. The noble-hearted fellow conceals his great disappointment and blesses the young couple. While Jim is away a strange woman denounces Dick as the husband who had deserted her. A month later we find Nell sewing up a tear in Jim's old coat. Jim's letter to her, written months before, falls upon the floor. Nell reads it. Jim enters, and Nell answers his proposal with a loving embrace and kiss. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
