Hidden Treasure Ranch (1913)

For years old man Potters had been tolerated by the townsfolk, living with one and the other as had the accommodations, but all humoring the the old man's petty hobby of a hidden treasure. The story spread to such an extent that the place became known as the "Hidden Treasure Ranch." This news attracts a spiritualistic medium, with the appellation of Ferdinand Del Garno. The ranchmen, Zeke Wilson and Bud Chester, are in love with the nieces of David Dalton and progressing very nicely as love makers until the redoubtable medium makes his appearance. By chance he learns of the location of the treasure and invites his adversaries to the formal unearthing. At the same time old Potter regains his memory and he makes his appearance to claim the treasure after the medium has uncovered it. For his trouble, however, he has won the lasting affection of Meena Weeks and the boys are left to their own regrets, which they take out upon each other in a rather emphatic manner.
