Storyline
Plot Summary |
The Texas Rangers, led by Tom Wilson, are hot on the trail of the Mexican bootleggers, who have been smuggling whiskey into American territory and supplying it to the Indians. Pedro, the bootlegger, sells his whiskey to a band of Indians and they go on a drunken rampage, first tying and gagging Pedro. Tom Wilson has just bid goodbye to his sweetheart, Nellie Smith, who, with her father, are starting on a long trip overland. He runs into the Mexican, who advises him that the Indians are on the warpath. He gathers a posse of cowboys and starts after the Indians. The Indians overtake Smith's wagon and Smith is bound to the burning wagon. Nellie is tied to a horse and led away. Tom rescues Smith and they continue after Nellie's captors. A running fight ensues, in which the Indiana are killed, and finally Tom rescues the nigh-dead girl. Smith decides that Tom has earned his right to Nellie's hand and gives her to him.
