The Wayfarer (1912)
Jim Reynolds and his wife are living happily on their ranch in western Colorado. One day, while out riding, Reynolds is severely injured. He is brought back to his cabin by some cowboys and his wife slowly nurses him back to health and strength. An accident insurance company sends Jim an amount of money in settlement of his claim. While Mary is counting the cash, Pedro, a Mexican renegade, comes along. He sees Mary counting the money through the window, and determines to steal it. He prevails upon the couple to put him up for the night; when he believes them to be sleeping, he quietly steals to the cupboard and secures the money. Mary, who has been suspicious of Pedro, appears upon the scene at this moment, and, grabbing a lariat from the wall, lassos him, binds him to a chair and takes away his gun. She then leaves Jim to watch Pedro while she rides for the sheriff. Jim, weak from his accident, soon falls over in a dead faint, dropping the gun to the floor. Pedro sees a red hot poker in the stove and, hitching his chair over to the fire, secures the poker in his teeth. He then burns the ropes that bind him and releases himself just as Jim awakens. A fierce fight then ensues while the two men struggle for the revolver. Pedro finally gets the best of Reynolds and is on the verge of killing him when Mary arrives with the sheriff and his posse.
