A Cripple Creek Cinderella (1916)
A stranger enters the mining town of Cripple Creek and takes up his abode in old Bailey's empty shack. He is tall and good looking and his name is Dick, but he has a strong aversion for dancehall girls. Nell, who dances at the saloon to support her invalid father, loses her slipper and Dick finds it. Filled with curiosity to know who the owner of the dainty shoe is, Dick keeps it and uses it to make his claim, feeling it must be a good omen. He meets Nell later, but she;s wearing very large old shoes, so he decides that she can't be the one, and she doesn't tell him. Dick strikes gold, and incidentally falls in love with Nell, but at their first kiss, Jim the gambler, appears, and his scornful laugh sends the girl home and Dick into a rage. He follows the gambler and finds him attempting to force his attentions upon Nell. A fight follows in which Dick is victorious, but he has to run for his life as all believe he has killed the gambler. His cup of misery is full when he learns the girl he loves is his Cinderella and a girl of the dancehall. He thrusts her aside, but in the manhunt which follows, she saves his life, and as the gambler was not seriously hurt, all ends happily.
