On El Camino Real (1913)
John Brentwood quarrels with his wife over his frequent fits of intoxication. They arrange to part and Brentwood departs for California, where in the course of time he pulls himself together and becomes the owner of a thriving ranch. Brentwood meets a beautiful Spanish girl, Luz, and is much attracted to her. Her father and mother are pleased at the rich rancher's attentions. A half-witted half-breed, Felloe, with an insane hatred of all "Gringos," resents Brentwood's intrusion. One day a young wanderer, Allen, comes to the hacienda and begs for work. Felipe would turn him away, but Luz sees the good looking young youth and intercedes for him. Time passes and the young people are mutually attracted. The father of Luz surprises Allen one day putting arose in his daughter's hair and sends him about his business. Felipe is delighted and is found one day practicing throwing the riata. Luz admires it. Brentwood asks for the hand of Luz, and the parents are pleased, but not so Luz. Allen seeks work at Brentwood's ranch and the two meet, recognizes his son in Allen. Allen denounces him and leaves. Brentwood is struck with contrition and sends a peon for his son with one hundred dollars in gold to help him on his way. Brentwood again appeals to Luz and rides away exasperated by her refusal. Felipe follows and kills him, believing he has insulted his beloved mistress. Allen enters a barroom and in paying for a drink he shows a lot of money. The sheriff notes this and Allen is arrested as the murderer. His quarrel with Brentwood is brought into the evidence against him and it looks as though nothing could save him. Luz, riding along the road discovers Felipe's riata. She confronts Felipe and gets him to the court room, where he confesses, and in a fit of delirium dies. Allen and Luz are united as the picture fades.
