Out of the Storm (1915)

Buck Hennessy holds up the paymaster of the Bonnie Bell Mine and robs him of the money sack. A big reward is offered for the capture of Hennessy, and a posse is organized. Hennessy, in fear of capture, abandons his horse and makes his way through the thick woods, bordering the road near the cabin of Phil Martin (employed in the mine) his wife, Hetty, and their child. Phil leaves Hetty to work on the night shift. Toward morning Buck steals up to Phil's cabin and, assuming that the husband has just left, enters and demands food. After eating he is overcome with sleep and, before falling onto the bed, swears that the first person entering the cabin door will get his head shot off. Buck then locks Hetty, the child and the dog in the tiny kitchen and falls asleep with his six shooter in his hand. Hetty knows that she must prevent the return of Phil. Finally she scribbles a note on a piece of cardboard, fastens it to the neck of the dog and forces him through the chimney from which the stovepipe has been removed. The dog meets Phil on his way from the mine and when Phil stoops to pat him the note is seen. Help is procured, the outlaw is captured and Hetty herself wins the reward.
