He neglected Betty and, one day, intoxicated, struck her. Then Cal returned and the pair had a joyous meeting, a meeting witnessed by the drunken Mark. He assaulted her on her way home and with what remained in her pocket-book went back to the saloon to gamble. He quickly lost the little change and in coming from the saloon, roughly knocked down a bad-looking Mexican who carelessly blocked his way.

This time the Mexican, nursing a fiendish hatred toward Mark, slipped behind the barn and shot him dead... Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
