Circle C's New Boss (1911)
Ethel Hanna resides in the east. Her Uncle William is a wealthy ranchman living in Arizona. One day a lawyer comes to Ethel and gives her word of her uncle's demise, and the further information that she is his sole legatee. With beating heart she calls her maid and packs her belongings and sets forth on a long journey to the west to claim her inheritance. Her uncle had dies in a wild paroxysm of rage, brought about through the conduct of his foreman, Steve King, and some of the disorderly cowpunchers of the place. Steve, who is an unscrupulous fellow, is quick to take advantage of his employer's sudden death, so he immediately sets about confiscating some valuable documents, including the last will and testament of the old ranchman. The assistant foreman, however, one Harry Newton, a young cowpuncher of sterling worth, frustrates the evil designs of the foreman, and rescues his late employer's property from the hands of the villain. Ethel arrives at the ranch in time to witness a quarrel between Steve and Harry. She interferes. Steve, unaware of her identity, brutally challenges her right to interfere. He does this to his sorrow, for the next minute he is discharged, and driven from the place by the cowpunchers under orders of their new mistress. Harry is now made foreman, having won favor in the eyes of the girl from the east. He, in turn, appoints Jack Wilson his assistant, and Jack straightway falls in love with Hanna, Ethel's maid, who has accompanied her on her trip to the west. In the meantime, the villainous ex-foreman plans to circumvent the new mistress and get her in his power. By a subterfuge he succeeds in getting her away with him on horseback. Then comes a wild ride, with Harry Newton and the rest of the boys in a fierce chase. Subsequently a fight to the death occurs between King and Newton, in which the latter is victor. It is not to be wondered, then, that the fair Ethel bestows her hand and fortune on the dashing Harry.
