Saved from the Vigilantes (1913)
Two husky westerners, Bud Lee and Curt Bludsoe, have formed an attachment for the trig daughter of the stage agent, Pearl Tollifer. The men conclude to settle the difficulty of debate by fists and have a fight behind the station, in which Bludsoe has his name illustrated at the hands of more skillful foe. Disgruntled over the "claret" effusion on his hickory shirt, Bludsoe bribes a tramp to steal a horse and drive it into Lee's corral. In the interim, the defeated lover has been very busy giving information to the head of a Vigilante committee whose specialty is horse thieves. The victorious, but unfortunate Lee, is taken prisoner and is about to be launched in a lynching bee, when his younger brother, Jeff Lee, who is an amateur telegrapher, shins up a pole, attaches an instrument and sends a message to Pearl, She is a "live wire" and immediately gets in touch with the sheriff, who wrings a confession from the tramp, who was thrown from the top of a moving freight train after stealing the horse, which exonerates Curt. The sheriff, the girl and the tramp Join the Vigilantes just in time to save the good man from an air dance.
