Her Wayward Son (1914)
Mrs. Woods is the mother of two grown boys. Both are in love with May White. Joe, the elder brother, believing that the younger has won May's heart, is silent. Ray, the younger, is somewhat wayward, visiting the town saloon and keeping bad company. His mother is greatly concerned at his not having returned home late at night, and asks Joe to find him. Joe goes to the saloon, where he finds the brother in company with ruffians. He orders him home. The next day Joe is summoned by the sheriff and notified that he is to be one of a posse to protect the stagecoach, which outlaws have planned to hold up that night. The posse rides out to its destination. Later, the stagecoach is held up by four masked outlaws. The posse arrives in time to rout the outlaws, capturing three of them. Joe rides after the fourth, wounds him and brings him to a halt. Pulling the mask from his face, he finds it to be his own brother. He stands dumbfounded as his brother makes his escape. Ray, in his wounded condition, calls at May's home for assistance. She goes after Joe, who brings him money and advises him to go far away and begin life anew, which he does. Some time later May receives a letter from Ray in a distant city, saying he is doing well and asking her to come and be his wife. She reads the letter to Joe. He asks her if she intends to go. For answer she tears up the letter, telling him that he will never understand. But he does understand, and takes her in his arms. She confesses her love for him.
