Captain Rivera's Reward (1912)
Rivera, the messenger, performs a kind act for Meta's boy, and later on this act proves a good investment. Rivera, the messenger, sends word to Ermina, daughter of the Viceroy, of his return. Desiring more colonists for the little Pueblo at Los Angeles, the Viceroy sends Rivera to Sonora with orders to secure additional settlers. Blanko, a spy for the bandit Palomare, informs his chief of Rivera's expedition, and the amount of gold he carries. A few miles from Los Angeles the brigands trap Rivera and his followers. They are made prisoners and taken to the bandits' headquarters. As the prisoners are brought in Meta, the bandit's wife, recognizes Rivera, and remembering his kindness to her boy, determines to save him. She cautiously communicates with Rivera, who gives her his ring and tells her to take it to the Viceroy's daughter, Ermina. The latter quickly organizes a posse, and through the aid of Meta, secures the freedom of Rivera, who proceeds on his journey to Sonora. Two months later Capt. Rivera returns with the settlers and for a reward the Viceroy consents to his marriage with Ermina.
