The Red Stephano (1915)
Known as the "Terror of the Argentine Plains," "Red Stephano" determines to intimidate Jack Schneider, the new owner of the Rancho Verde, as he had his predecessor. He carries out his threat and steals some of the choicest horses, killing one of the herders in the operation. Furious Schneider gathers some of the neighboring ranchers and they start out on the outlaw's trail. After an exciting hunt through the grass, which in that country, grows higher than a man's head, they capture the rascal. Schneider says that shooting is too good for such a beast and Stephano is tied hand and foot to a horse, then turned loose in the wilderness. Schneider's wife Katrina and their two children start out to join him but are attacked by renegade Indians; Katrina is absolutely fearless and doesn't hesitate to shoot when necessary. She temporarily drives them off and comes across the "Red Stephano." Carrying the suffering man back to camp, she revives him and in his rude way he expresses his gratitude to her. Shortly afterwards he learns that Katrina's husband is his sworn enemy and plans to strike Schneider through his children, but before he can carry out his intentions, the Indians return to the attack. Gratitude overcomes revenge, and he helps Katrina drive off the marauders. During the running tight he receives a mortal wound. Schneider, who has become uneasy, arrives with a party of men, just in time to save the little party from annihilation. Finding Red Stephano dead, Schneider reverently tells the men that the man they had sent to a supposed death was the means of saving his wife and children.
