- When Ralph married pretty Jane Hathaway, all the boys started a commotion to make Ralph sheriff for the present incumbent of the office was growing dally more lax in his duties. This came to pass and amid the cheers of Ralph's friends and the scowls of Ben Baldwick, the deposed sheriff. Scarcely had he taken office when Ben put up a job on him. Passing through the hills with the new sheriff was James Hartwell, a well-known resident of the little town. The new sheriff could find no trace of the would-be murderer and in the days that followed all the town lost confidence in the new sheriff, but his wife Jane had an idea and a suspicion. She plotted with Ralph and the result of the plot was the spreading of a report that James had died of the shot and his body would be carried through town. This was done in a rig, the body covered by a blanket lying in the back. Ben Baldwick, ex-sheriff, staggered against the saloon door when he saw the result of his trick to discredit the new sheriff. A week later at ten a.m., when Ralph with several friends and Ben hung around the office the telephone rang. Ralph answered it and called to Ben that he was wanted at the 'phone. Ben answered wondering. Then he staggered back deathly white as a voice over the wire called to him, "Hello, Ben. This is Jim whom you killed two weeks ago." The effect was paralyzing. Ben turned and fled through a window. The sheriff and a posse quickly mounted horses and gave chase. Others headed Ben off and seeing the jig was up, he threw his hands in the air, confessed the deed and the sheriff's honor among men was restored to him.—Moving Picture World synopsis
