The Snake Bite (1911)
Bill was a ne'er-do-well cow boy. The only reason he retained his position on the ranch was because Jack, the young foreman, was patient with him. One day, Dorothy, the ranchman's daughter, went for a ride on her favorite pony. Bill followed her and tried to make love to her. She resented his attentions and he in revenge, cut the saddle girth so that Dorothy fell and was stunned. When her horse appeared at the ranch, Jack quickly called the cowboys together and galloped off in search of her. They found her and also the saddle, and Jack accused Bill of cutting the girth. He advised Bill to get out before the boys strung him up, but Bill was already partly intoxicated and refused to go. Later on he interrupted the barn dance and finally at the bat he challenged Jack to a fight. From behind trees they exchanged revolver shots. Suddenly Jack saw Bill fall. On going to him he found that he had been bitten by a venomous snake. Jack shot the reptile. Just at that moment the others came running up. It looked very much as though jack had shot Bill and Dorothy was in despair at the possibility of harm coming to the young foreman. But Jack showed them the body of the snake and explained the whole thing. There was no doubt then about the man that Dorothy loved and the cowboys gave a loud cheer for the popular foreman and his beautiful bride.
