Anne of the Mines (1914)
Anne, daughter of old Tom the mine superintendent, saves the life of Arizona Kid, a worthless fellow who gets into his good graces. Although intuitively feeling that Arizona is not all he pretends to be, Anne accepts his marriage proposal. The day before her wedding, a tired and worn little woman drifts into town with her two children and Anne meets them. She learns that the woman is Arizona's wife Jess. Anne confronts the rascal with his little family and he confesses his desertion. Anne is willing to let the matter drop, but her father incurs Arizona's everlasting enmity by angrily turning him and his family out of the house. Arizona swears revenge. He succeeds in getting old Tom to succumb to his weakness for drink. The inspector finds the old man and Tom is discharged. When Albert, the new superintendent, arrives, Anne is naturally resentful of his presence. She continues to hold him at a distance, although he falls in love with her and makes friends with her father. Arizona, jealous of Albert, arranges with his tool Jose to start a cave-in, while the superintendent is laying a blast, thus cutting off his escape after setting fire to a time fuse. Jess overhears the plot and warns Anne. Jose and the superintendent are let down into the mine, Albert places his dynamite and Jose knocks out some already loosened props, causing part of the wall to collapse, pinning Albert beneath. Jose makes his escape. Anne arrives and slides down the shaft rope, and with a pick succeeds in rescuing Albert, places him in the lift, and the men who have arrived draw him up. Anne faints. Arizona Kid, learning she is down the shaft, thinks of the burning fuse, and filled with remorse, attempts to rescue her, but loses his life in the explosion. Anne and the superintendent are now the happiest of wedded couples.
