When the reward for his capture is posted, along comes his double, a stranger of questionable character, who, upon seeing the reward card and photograph of his prototype, fears that he may be taken for the original and shaves off his beard. "The Parasite," too, returns to the village, clean shaven, at the time when his double takes advantage of an old miner's inebriety to rob him of his gold. "The Parasite" checkmates his rival's movements in the little community, and going to the sheriff of an adjoining county, where he, himself, is wanted for numerous deeds of outlawry, is made a deputy. He immediately sets to work to "get" his rival, the murderer of his sweetheart's father, and the working out of the love episode between '"The Parasite" and the orphaned girl makes this two-part western drama a real live "thriller."
