The Black Eagle (1915)
Barbara Dunbar comes west to visit her uncle Thompson. She gets her first glimpse of Black Eagle when he holds up the stage on which she rides. Once arrived at her destination, she meets Dick Rockwell, and the old saying "East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" goes to smash. The East and the West blend pretty well. It is a case of love at first sight. Dick Rockwell has a mission in life. He sells his share in the ranch and prepares to leave for the city at sunrise. He is going to find the man who has caused his sister's death. Black Eagle hears of Dick's decision, knows of the large amount which he got for the ranch, and arranges to hold him up. That night, Barbara sees Black Eagle and his hand from her window. All the men in tier house have left for the round-up, so, mounting a horse, she rides ten miles through the night to warn Dick of his danger. Her love for him outweighs all the stories she has heard from Joe Hawkins about him and "a certain woman who is now dead." Black Eagle enters Dick's cabin, but Dick is prepared. In the struggle, the Eagle is unmasked, and Dick falls back aghast. The Eagle is none other than his chum, Drew. Barbara, however, has met him in the East. "His name is not Drew, it is Richard Childs," she cries. Immediately, Dick recognizes the name his sister breathed when she died. The chance for revenge has come, Dick springs on Childs. In the struggle, Childs draws a knife and is about to plunge it into Dick, but Barbara has recovered from the first shock of the fight. She grasps a gun and shoots him. Black Eagle, the bandit, and Richard Childs, the cause of the little sister's death, is no more. Barbara has learned the true story about "the woman." She turns to Dick and their embrace brings the East and the West together for all time.
