Out of the Dark (1911)
A cowboy dance at Roaring Canyon was always a gala occasion. Also, it was never free from a row and in this instance Red-Eyed Bob shot the hat off Gambler Joe's head, because the latter tried to force Bob's sweetheart to dance with him. Shortly after the dance, the escaping smoke from the stove so distressed Bob's eyes, that in his rage he kicked it over. Soon the place was in flames and Bob was ejected with the dire threat of being shot should he ever return to Roaring Canyon. While crossing the country, he mounted and gave it the rein. Without being discovered, he found his way to his sweetheart's home and made known his condition. Before the frightened girl could act, her mother entered and ordered both from the home. Gambler Joe was about to call on the widow's daughter when he saw Bob coming out. He is about to fulfill his oath to shoot Bob on sight, when he notes the man's uncertain steps. Leading the lad to the hotel, he leaves him in the office to fetch a visiting doctor. While gone a bunch of cowboys enter, and not knowing his plight, they pitch in and commence to forcibly settle their grudge, until interrupted by Nell, who enlightens them as to his condition. The doctor examined Bob's eyes and announced that five months' rest and treatment under his care with a thousand rest and treatment under his care with a thousand dollar fee would restore his sight. Gambler Joe passes his hat and it is quickly jammed with notes and coins, all prompted by the common feeling for an afflicted fellow-man. Touched by the unadorned generosity of these big-hearted westerners, the doctor returns their offering and given his service free to Bob, who after the allotted time, returns to his little sweetheart, hale and sound, uplifted out of the dark.
