The Sheriff's Duty (1916)
Sheriff Gibbons is in love with Betty Nelson, daughter of Dan Nelson, an old miner. Ed Jones, infuriated because he has lost in the game of love, threatens Nelson, and is reprimanded by the sheriff. Ed Jones discovers that Betty's father has found pay dirt. He overpowers Nelson in his home and escapes with the gold. The sheriff and Betty, returning from a ride, find the old man in a weakened condition. Sheriff Gibbons and a posse go in pursuit of Jones, locate him, and by strategy the sheriff captures the cowpuncher without a shot. The sheriff returns with the stolen gold to Dan Nelson. The boys take Jones to the lock-up, but the sheriff remains behind and takes Betty into his arms.
