The Capture of Bad Brown (1913)

Bad Brown, a cattle rustler, finding things slow in his locality, proceeds to fill up with red liquor, and then starts to shoot up the frontier settlement. About the time he has got everybody behind door, the stage rolls into town, and Bad Brown scares Pat and Biddy, the new arrivals to death with his noisy fusillade, and the dangerous proximity of his wild shooting. Buck comes in like an innocent spectator at this time; but does not get injured, in fact, he soundly trounces the drunken rustler, thereby earning the everlasting gratitude of Pat and Biddy. All this does not sober Brown, and he is inclined to commit more serious crimes than to merely get drunk, so the sheriff comes along and swears in Buck, as one of his posse. Bad Brown, however, has a pretty daughter, Marie, and Buck is in love with her. He compels his daughter to hide him, but after a series of dashing adventures Buck routs him out and starts the old offender off to jail. The girl's relationship at the time with the old man was unknown by the dashing Buck, but she admits, afterward, that he is her father. She feels, however, the need of a better protector so much that she accepts the fearless hand of Buck for life.
