Ginger's Reign (1914)
Ginger is the little dancer at the saloon in Canaan Camp. Gentleman Bill, a citizen of the camp, is in love with her and wants to marry her. Ginger, however, refuses him, deciding she would rather dance than work. She receives a good offer to dance at Goldfield, which she accepts. In the meantime Bill meets Nell, a sweet gentle girl; they fall in love and marry. Nell falls ill, and with no money to buy medicine, Bill is "up against it." He borrows money from Rawlins, an adventurer who loves Ginger, giving a mortgage on all he owns. Hearing of Bill's marriage, Ginger is piqued and her vanity is wounded. In revenge she goes to Rawlins and tells him that she will marry him if he will foreclose on Bill. Finding that he must marry Ginger if he wishes to possess her, Rawlins agrees to ruin Bill. He writes to Bill that he will foreclose the mortgage. Bill becomes ill from worry. Hearing of his condition, Ginger decides to go and see Bill's wife. She comes back to camp to find Bill sick and Nell away. Seeing Bill's baby in the cradle she picks it up. The child has a softening influence upon her and when Nell returns, Ginger is prompted by her better impulses to help the little woman and Bill. That night at the saloon she gives a benefit for Bill's child, and dances as she never danced before. The place is crowded and the boys enthusiastically fling money upon the table for her, and she offers it to Rawlins in payment for Bill's note. Rawlins is filled with a new respect and love for Ginger, and tearing up the note, passes it with the money to Ginger, telling her to give it all to Bill's child. Ginger gives Rawlins a rose from her dress and stands looking after him with new interest.
