The Mistress of Hacienda del Cerro (1911)

Richard Young, an American immigrant, and his sick wife find shelter at the Hacienda del Cerro. Dolores, daughter of Estebon Hernandez, owner of the Hacienda Del Cerro, is fascinated by the young American and attempts to win him from his wife, but her advances are scorned by the honest American. This incites the vindictive Dolores to revenge herself on Richard by having Gray Bear, an Indian Chief, abduct Richard's wife. Dolores summons Gray Bear to her home and makes known her plan. The Indian apparently becomes a willing tool, but when he arrives that night with four or five braves, instead of kidnapping the American's wife they capture Dolores, with whom the Indian chief is madly in love. A prisoner in Gray Bear's tent, Dolores is informed she is about to become the Indian's wife. The rescue is splendidly portrayed.
