A stranger enters, inquires for the owner of the ranch, and asks for a job. Johnson, the boss, does not like his looks very much, but being short of men, gives him a job. The stranger sees all the horses in the corral, and decides to steal them that evening. In the meantime, the horse thief takes a liking to the rancher's little daughter and rescues her from the attacks of a flock of geese. That night the horse-thief gets his confederates, knocks the night watchman senseless and takes the horses. The cowboys pursue and kill all the thieves excepting the leader, who, being only wounded, crawls away. Some of the cowboys go in pursuit of him, but fall to find him, and return to the ranch. In the meantime the little girl at the ranch wanders a long way off, gets lost and is caught in the quicksand. Her cries for help are heard by the horse thief, who goes to her rescue. In doing so he is caught in the sand himself. He holds the child above his head and frantically calls for help. He is sinking rapidly and the cowboys, who are searching for Bessy, arrive just in time to lasso the child and save her as the horse-thief's hands sink out of sight. The closing scene is of the little girl (later) throwing flowers on the quicksand as she kneels in prayer. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
