Single Handed (1914)

There is no curse like that of jealousy, and nothing is too contemptible for a jealous man to do to win the object of his affections. Jack Travors, sheriff, and Reina Valdez are sweethearts. Dr. Karl, the village physician, is also an aspirant for the hand of the fair Reina, but she has a natural aversion to him and whenever he attempts to make love to her, she repulses him. The stage coach is held up by two desperate bandits, and after a thrilling chase they are captured by the sheriff and posse, but not before the sheriff has his arm broken. Dr. Karl is called to attend Travors, and that night, alone with the injured man, he administers a sleeping potion, procures the keys of the jail, liberates the two bandits and returns the keys to the still-drugged man. Next morning the sheriff is awakened, informed of the escape and, with his arm in a sling, starts out alone after the bandits. Their capture is effected in an exciting manner. Travors now finds out who let them escape, and lodges the doctor in jail with the two bandits. He then claims Reina for his own.
