Young Wild West's Prairie Pursuit (1912)
Horse thieves stealing four horses from the Bar Y ranch are seen by one of the cowboys, who gives the alarm. The ranchman and cowboys give chase. The horse thieves ride through the woods and coming into a small clearing, almost run over a small party camping. They would have run the party down had not Young Wild West pulled the leader of the horse thieves from his horse, and then knocked him down, when he started to draw his gun. Not knowing that the four men have stolen horses with them, Wild West lets them go. They are hardly gone when the ranchman and his men appear. Wild West leads them in the direction taken by the horse thieves. They lose the trail in the woods and return to the camp. The ranchman invites them to the ranch for a few days and asks their aid in running down the horse thieves. They accept the invitation, and packing up, they leave for the ranch, where on arriving, they are made welcome. In the meantime the thieves arrive at their house in the woods and hide the horses. The leader swears to get even with Young Wild West, so dressing like an old hunter, and putting on a false beard, he goes to town alone. He is overheard talking to a man by Young Wild West, who has ridden to town with his sweetheart, Arietta and her girl chum. Wild West stops when he hears the voice and after making sure, pulls the beard from the robber's face. The man, however, manages to escape. Wild then gives chase, followed by the two girls. The, horse thief reaches his pals on the edge of the wood and they watch Wild West coming, and decide to steal his sweetheart as she passes since she is far behind the others. Wild and Mabel pass the place where the thieves are, thinking the man they are after is ahead, and when Arietta passes, one of the men rides out and pulls the girl from her horse, and turning, dashes into the woods. Wild West, hearing the cries of the girl, turns and gives chase. But again the villains get away and reach their house first, but Wild West sees them from a clearing and is about to enter, when he sees some of the men come out and walk towards the place where the horses are hidden. Wild West is about to untie Arietta when one of the villains appears, and is soon at Wild's mercy. A desperate fight ensues between our hero and the gang leader. Mabel returns with the cowboys just in time to capture the entire band of bad men.
