The Three Shell Game (1911)
Dick Hankie, an outcast, is seen crawling out from beneath a freight car. After many rebuffs, he finally secures work at the Weston Ranch, where he is made welcome by Clara and her mother. Weston and Dick start for the bank to pay off a mortgage long due. At the entrance to the bank, they are attracted by a three shell game, and despite the remonstrance of Dick, Weston gambles away his money, returning heart-broken to his house. Clara and her mother blame Dick for their father's weakness. Appalled by his desperate situation, Dick goes forth into the mountains, where he luckily meets the three shell gambler, whom he holds up at the point of his revolver. He then goes back to the ranch and returns Weston's money. In the joy which follows he successfully pleads his cause with Clara, who had learned to love him during their brief acquaintance.
