The Ranger and His Horse
Directed by William DuncanA story dealing with a band of outlaws that are holding the sheriff's niece a prisoner to insure their own safety. The sheriff sends for the girl's sweetheart, a Texas Ranger, to come on and help him find her. The ranger first creates for himself a reputation as a bandit, and when he arrives is welcomed to the outlaw camp as one of their own kind. He locates the girl, and through a bit of strategy, manages to make the outlaw chief a prisoner. With the aid of his horse, he then sets about getting the girl out of her prison. The outlaw camp is so situated that to enter by force is an impossibility. The ranger, however, goes to the top of an overhanging cliff, makes his rope fast to the saddle, and lowers himself into the gulch. By taking big chances he gets the girl out, and the horse, as he feels the tugging at the rope, pulls them to the top in safety. They are pursued by the outlaws, and are hard pressed, but the ranger will not give up his prisoner. He sends the girl after assistance, and holds the band off until the posse arrive. Then he turns the chief over to the sheriff, goes to the girl and claims his reward.
