Four $100 Bills
1913 11mShort
As Ralph Hunter and his wife are spending a quiet evening before the blazing logs of an open fire, Hith Hanner is announced. His arrival recalls scenes of twenty years ago and as the trio of old friends talk of their last meeting amid the exciting scenes of life in the gold fields of Nevada, an intensely interesting drama is unfolded upon the screen. Hunter arrives in a rough mining town where he befriends a stranger and meets his present wife, Helen, who is the daughter of the sheriff. He displays four $100 bills, which are great curiosities in a land where gold is used exclusively as legal tender. It happens that the landlord of the town inn also owns four $100 bills, which are stolen by two bad men of the locality. Hunter is accused of the theft and the bills discovered. In line with the quick justice meted out to mining camp offenders, Hunter is about to be lynched. His only witness, the man he befriended, has departed to a distant settlement. Helen learns of his trouble and by making a supreme effort and overcoming many difficulties finally succeeds in bringing the missing witness to the scene of the lynching, where Hunter is saved and the real culprits brought to justice. A charming romance which results in Hunter's marriage to the girl who saved his life brings this exciting drama to a delightful close.
