Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Estelle Dalny goes for Red Cross duty in Mexico. Her half-brother, Rupert Ellston, later crosses the border as a surveyor and overhears some Mexicans say his sister has been kidnapped by Jacobs, an outlaw chief. Seeking someone to help save her, he meets Lopez Deligardo, another outlaw, who tells him if he kills Bourne Carringford, he will save his sister. Carringford is Ellston’s best friend, but, for his sister’s sake, Ellston shoots his comrade and flees. Estelle, freed, nurses Carringford, who was not killed, unaware it was her brother who shot him and he not knowing Ellston is her brother. They are married. Ellston joins the rebels, hoping he will be killed for his act. He falls in love with Felicita de Lome. Later Ellston sees Carringford, whom he thought he had killed, and surrenders. Carringford turns Ellston over to Martinez, a rebel chief, who stakes him to a post in the broiling sun. Felicita appeals to Carringford, explaining Ellston shot him to save his sister. Carringford and Estelle learn the price Ellston paid to save her, and Carringford rushes to save Ellston. There is a happy reunion between Ellston, his sister and Felicita.
