Young Wild West Leading a Raid (1912)
Young Wild West arrives in the town of Big Echo with his party and makes an enemy of the Mayor of the town, because he will not buy drinks for the crowd. The Mayor and Wild West fight and Wild West shoots the gun from the Mayor's band to teach him a lesson. A short while after. Wild saves his cook, a Chinaman, from the clutches of the sheriff, who had arrested him in mistake for a thieving Chinaman. This action of Will's incurs the enmity of the Sheriff. The Mayor and Sheriff, with two accomplices, have been robbing the town and been letting their positions shield them. They had planned to rob the Golden Giant mine on the day that Wild West and his party arrived in the town. The Chinese cook overhears the plot in the saloon and hurries back to the camp to tell Wild West. They decide to lay low and capture them later. Meanwhile, the robbers, headed by the Mayor and the Sheriff, make their way to the mine and, with the help of the night watchman, who belongs to their gang, they carry the gold away and hide it in an old shack in the canyon below. The next morning the news spreads that the mine has been robbed and the superintendent of the mine, hearing that Wild West is in town, sends for him. The Mayor and Sheriff arrive at his office at the same time that Wild West puts in his appearance. The superintendent gives them what information he can and tells them he will take them to the scene of the robbery. The Sheriff and Mayor object to Wild West going, but the superintendent's suspicions have been aroused and their objections are useless. They arrive at the scene of the robbery and question the night watchman, who breaks down and confesses all. In the meantime, the Sheriff and Mayor have sneaked off and are making their way to the shack. Wild and two of his men, with the superintendent and his sweetheart, follow them and Wild, climbing to the top of a high cliff, sees Jack in the distance and knows he is on the right track. He and one of his men go to the canyon, while one man goes to town for help, leaving the superintendent and his sweetheart behind. The Mayor and Sheriff, who have been hiding close by, hold up the remaining two. Outside, the posse joins Wild and he leads them toward the shack. The men inside realize their safety lays in flight, but after a few short chases, the four are captured. Wild returns the gold to the superintendent and receives his thanks.
