The Indian and the Cowgirl (1910)
While on a peaceful limiting trip, Red Cloud, an Indian, is held up and an attempt to rob him is made by a band of cattle rustlers. Just at this moment a cowgirl conies riding upon the scene. Pulling her gun she demands of the rustlers to set the Indian free. Upon their doing so Red Cloud mounts his horse and rides away, vowing that some day he will repay the cowgirl for her brave act. The cattle rustlers, angry at being frustrated in their attempt to rob Red Cloud, swear to get revenge upon the cowgirl. Stealing her little daughter, they tie the child on the back of a horse and drive it at breakneck speed across the plains. One of the rustlers writes a note, tacking it to the side of the horse: "Miss Smarty, get your Indian friend to hunt for your brat, you will find her tied to the back of one of your bronchos, God knows where. Next time mind your own business." Upon finding the note the cowgirl gives the alarm and one of the first to respond to her call for help is Red Cloud, who by the wonderful scent of the Indian, soon picks up the trail of the horses and tells the cowboys who have gathered in what direction the rustlers have gone. Red Cloud and the cowgirl, who follow the horse and child, have an exciting and thrilling chase, finally coming upon them, and by clever manipulating of her lariat, the cowgirl lassos the horse, rescuing her child unharmed, and Red Cloud's reward is paid.
