Harrington is reprimanded. That afternoon, Beasley sees Harrington abusing a horse, by jerking the reins and hitting the horse in the face with them. Beasley tells him to quit; this Harrington refuses to do. Beasley hits Harrington a punch in the jaw. These two men are in love with the ranchman's daughter, Mabel. Mackclay has instructed his daughter to have nothing to do with Beasley. That night, Harrington sees Beasley with Mabel. He writes a note to Mackclay and throws it through an open window. Mackclay picks it up and reads that his daughter is with Sam Beasley at the fence, near the big trees. Mackclay goes after him with a shotgun. He discovers that the two have disappeared. In trying to climb a fence his gun is accidentally discharged in his face, wounding him severely. Harrington, hearing the report of the gun, runs to the scene and finds Mackclay in a serious condition. He calls for the cowpunchers. One of them goes for a doctor. Three of them, having been told by Harrington, that Beasley shot Mackclay, scout the surrounding territory for him. The doctor arrives and dresses Mackclay's wounds. Beasley is found in a nearby saloon. He is taken to the home of Mackclay. Mackclay tells the doctor and the boys that Beasley did not shoot him, that the gun was accidentally discharged. In the meantime, Harrington, realizing that Mackclay's condition is not as serious as first thought, decides the best thing he can do is to leave. After hearing Mackclay's statement, the boys go after Harrington. He is brought back to the house and is discharged and ordered off the place. Mackclay appoints Beasley foreman of the ranch and tells the cowpunchers, who have gathered around his bed, that Beasley will be his son-in-law. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
