The Petticoat Sheriff (1911)
Bill Jenkins was candidate for sheriff of Lucky Gulch. One day his wife, Molly, saw an article describing how a woman was elected mayor of a small town in Colorado. Molly determined to run against her husband for sheriff, and the boys elected her. Then Bud Evans, "a bad man" of the town, committed a murder and, of course, it was up to Molly to arrest him. Her husband wanted to help her, but Molly refused assistance. Arriving at the cabin where Evans was hiding, she boldly entered. Evans promptly took her gun away, put her own handcuffs on her, then locked the petticoat sheriff in another room. In the meantime, Bill becoming anxious about his wife, followed her. He found Molly and released her, told her to go home and remain in her place. When Evans returned to the hut, Bill captured him and brought him safely home where Molly was. Then he gave Molly the revolver and she marched Evans through the streets of the town to the jail. Everybody thought Molly was an all right sheriff, but Molly knew she wasn't, so after Evans was behind the bars, she came home, "had a good cry," took of her sheriff's badge and pinned it on her husband.
