Broncho Billy and the Maid

Jim Clay, a rough western ranchman, kisses his daughter goodbye, and departs for the town saloon. Entering, he sees four of his comrades finishing a game of cards. Broncho Billy, one of them, wins all the money. Clay exits and seats himself on a barrel in front of the place. Broncho, with his winnings, departs from the saloon, meets Clay and together they proceed to the ranchman's home. Broncho is introduced to Clay's charming daughter, who at the time of their arrival is preparing the noon-day meal. The ranchman and Broncho engage in a game of cards. Broncho detects Davis taking some cards from his boot. A fight ensues in which the ranchman is shot in the head and Broncho in the leg. The daughter, hearing the tumult, rushes into the room to aid her father. Broncho has escaped. Crawling on his hands and knees he finally reaches the stable where he manages to climb into an oat bin, The girl thinking only of her wounded father, secures a revolver, and tracks Broncho by the drops of blood. Finding him in an exhausted condition, she drags him into a store cellar and washes and bandages his wound. Later, when Broncho has almost recovered from his wound, she gives him a revolver and tells him to go. Clay swears vengeance. Seeing Broncho leave the cellar he rushes after him. His daughter, fearful for her father's safety, because of Broncho's draw, intercepts and prevents him from being shot. She then tells her father that she loves Broncho. Seeing that it would be madness to bear grievance against Broncho, Clay shakes hands with him and the feud is ended.
