Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Tom Brown, a young deputy sheriff, is in love with Mary, the sheriff’s daughter. She tells him that he must win his spurs before talking of marriage. Manuel Lopez, a bandit, holds up the stagecoach, and a reward of $1,000 is offered for his arrest. Brown determines to try for the reward. As the posse sets out he receives a note from Mary asking him to meet her at a rendezvous in the woods. Hesitating between love and duty, he decides on the former, and goes to the broken oak. Mary is not there. Brown’s absence is noticed, and the sheriff, following him, accuses him of cowardice and confiscates his badge. Sick at heart, he is wandering in the forest when he strikes the bandit’s trail, and in a hand-to-hand encounter, captures him. Wounded in the struggle, he faints at the girl’s door, and she prevents the outlaw’s escape. Thus he wins not only the reward but also the badge and the girl.
