Timid May (1912)

May arrives at the Bullshed Ranch, so timid and shy that she is almost frightened to death by the cowboys' revolvers and rough appearance. While all the other boys consider her a joke, Steve, a good-natured fellow, thinks she is just about right. Shortly after her arrival, a reward is offered for the capture of a desperado. The sheriff, her uncle, and his men start in pursuit. Steve accidentally happens to get in his way, and both he and the desperado are so surprised that they separate in opposite direction. May sees the desperado approaching her. The bad man appeals to her for refuge. She tells him to go into the barn, which the sheriff uses as a jail. She locks him in, and when the sheriff and his men return, they find their man in jail, thanks to Timid May. Steve, scared to death, arrives on the scene before the posse, and when they arrive he takes part of the credit. May is so bashful and overcome by his assumed heroism that she falls into his arms and throws darts of love into his soul.
