Out in Happy Hollow (1914)
After shooting a man in a saloon fight, Gentleman Bob, a crook, makes his getaway to the West, leaving behind him "Mississippi" and their baby, promising to return for them. In the West he falls in with congenial companions and soon forgets her. The baby dies, and Mississippi goes West. Ten years later she becomes manager of the store and post office in the little town of Happy Hollow. The Sheriff of that county loves her, but she refuses his attentions, believing Bob will yet keep his promise to marry her. One evening the sheriff begs her to go to a dance with him. Bob and a girl from another town also attend the dance, and "Sippi," as she is called, sees him. He goes outside for a smoke and Sippi follows him. He is cold and mumbles that he will come to see her soon. The sheriff notices a scar on Bob's right hand, and later gets a letter saying a man "with scar on right hand" is wanted for a post office robbery. Bob comes back agitated, and says: "Sippi, I'm in trouble. Give me some money and we'll leave this place and marry." She is overjoyed, but when he sees her small amount of cash, tells her he wants the post office money. Hearing a knock at the door, Bob hides under the bed. The sheriff enters, and sees a hand with a familiar scar on it reaching out from under the bed. The sheriff draws his gun, commands Bob to come out, searches him, and finds he is the man wanted. Sippi, to save Bob, lies, saying, "He stole to help his mother, let him go to her." The sheriff makes him give up the money he has stolen, gives him a few dollars from his own pocket, and Sippi commands Bob to go. Sippi starts to tell the sheriff about Bob, he puts his hand on her lips and smiles lovingly at her. Her past makes no difference to him, and she realizes she has found the Right Man at last.
