Sheltering an Ingrate (1914)
Longwood, an escaped convict, applies for a position at the ranch of Cole and is given a position as cowboy. He and Mona, one of Cole's daughters, become very much interested in each other, although her heart is supposed to be given to Ray, the foreman. Longwood shows his true colors and loses the friendship of all the men, except Ray, who befriends him. They all attend the rodeo in a nearby town and most of the boys enter the different races. A race is to be run by heats. Ray and Longwood have to enter the finals. As the boys are discussing the coming heat, Longwood sneaks up and cuts three fourths of the way through the cinch. In the final race, as the boys are running neck and neck, the cinch of Ray's horse breaks and he is thrown to the ground. He is carried off the field unconscious. The cinch is examined and found to be cut. A boy who saw Longwood cut the cinch now speaks up. Longwood is about to be seized when the sheriff recognizes Longwood from a photograph which he has of an escaped convict, and the prisoner is led away. Nan and Ray come to a better understanding regarding their love affair.
