Death Valley Scotty's Mine (1912)

Scotty, the hero, reaches Blind Canyon in time to save his old friend Pedro from a bunch of frolicsome cowboys. Scotty has previously advised Pedro that he has blown in his last thousand dollars and instructs him to get the pack train ready for another trip to the mine. The villainess and her bad bunch appear on the scene. Scotty is grub-staked by Nell, the "chuck house" girl, (the heroine). The villainess and the bad men plot to silence the heroine forever. Nell is kidnapped, taken out on the plain and tied to a stake. A fuse is placed in a barrel of powder and the barrel is set beside Nell. The villains light the fuse and ride away. The heroine works around to the lighted fuse, which she utilizes to burn the rope that binds her arms. Nell having liberated herself makes a wild ride across the desert to warn Scotty. In the meantime Scotty reaches the mine, secures a bag of gold, and prepares to start back to town. The villainess and her bad men appear and Scotty and Pedro are made prisoners. Nell reaches the mine after the departure of the bad men and quickly realizes the situation. Taking up the trail, she follows to the place where Scotty and Pedro are bound. Nell releases the two miners and all three ride for the sheriff's office. This fearless officer and his brave posse come to the robbers' rendezvous, where the bad men and the villainess are quickly overpowered and placed under arrest.
