The Senorita's Conquest (1911)
When Ralph Duncan was elected sheriff of a small Texas town, he determined to wipe out a notorious gang of Mexican brigands. He offered a reward of $500 for the capture of the gang's chief. When news of this was brought to the gang, Dolores, a young Mexican girl, in a spirit of dare-deviltry offered to bring the sheriff a captive to the Chief Juan. When she departed on her mission Juan sent Pedro to follow her. Arriving at Juarez, Dolores went to a festive gathering where she learned the sheriff was. There she was annoyed by the attentions of one of the cowboys, against whom she was protected by the sheriff. The cunning little Mexican girl was quick to take advantage of the opportunity and pretending faintness, asked the sheriff to escort her from the place, which the sheriff was by no means reluctant to do. He proceeded to fall violently in love with her. Dolores, for the first time, felt a strong turbulence in her own heart. Never before had she experienced the frank admiration of a man like this, handsome, open-hearted and unsuspicious. He offered to accompany her home, which was just what she had come to make him do and Dolores refused and departed alone. Arriving at the Mexican village, she reported that the sheriff would not come, but Pedro was there to tell the real facts. Juan, wild with rage, compelled Dolores to write a note to the sheriff asking him to come to her house. The sheriff came promptly and was captured. He was placed in a room on the second floor under guard. Poor Dolores tried in several ways to help him to escape. Finally she went to her own room, which was above the sheriff's and descended to his window by means of a sheet. Then after she had convinced him of the trueness of her love, she urged him to escape by means of a lariat which she had brought, pointing out that their only chance was for him to go and come back with aid. The next morning Juan found her in place of the sheriff. Death was decreed for her, but just as the fatal blow was about to be struck, the sheriff galloped up with a bunch of cowboys and laid low the chief with a shot through the window.
