- Little Molly Hendricks is leaving her papa's California ranch for the east to attend school. Bob Gorman, the foreman of the ranch, a bright young chap, has long had a tender feeling for the girl, but has never had the courage to declare his love. However, now that she is going so far and possibly for so long, he cannot restrain himself, and reveals this feeling. His action displeases his employer, Mr. Hendricks, who is of an irascible nature, and his first inclination is to discharge him, but reasoning that the girl is leaving at once and there can be nothing further come of the affair, he curbs his temper on advice of his doctor, who warns him of the result, he being a victim of heart trouble. All goes well until a year later, when Molly writes of her intended return, stating she will not tell the day of her arrival, as she wants to surprise them. Bob, learning the news, is beside himself with joy, but the owner quarrels with him, and during the convulsion of his passion succumbs to his affliction. There are no witnesses to the quarrel, and of course the foreman is accused of killing him. On learning of the ranch owner's death, the hands band together and search for the foreman, who, realizing the danger of his helpless position, has fled to the mountains, for hanging he knows is the punishment to be meted. He has succeeded in eluding his pursuers and makes his way high into one of the rocky peaks, where he falls exhausted. From this point he can see almost the entire trail as it winds through the hills. He is not here long when he hears the cry of a woman, and climbing to a point of vantage, is horrified to see Molly, who has been making her way homeward over the trail on a burro and is waylaid by several Indians. From where he stands he fires and wounds one of the red devils, and in a panic they flee. When he arrives at the girl's side, he finds her burro gone, and she suffering a sprained ankle. To take the girl to safety would mean his own death, but his love for the girl induces him to make the sacrifice. They haven't proceeded far when, confronted by the searching party, one of whom takes the girl in charge while the rest take the poor fellow off to the woods to hang him, despite the girl's entreaties. This, Bob would have suffered, had not the timely arrival of the doctor, who discovered the real cause of Hendrick's death, prevented it. Hence, it is by this perilous, circuitous trail that Bob reaches the heart of the ranchman's pretty daughter.—Moving Picture World synopsis
