A Cowboy and a Lord (1911)
An English nobleman, Lord Ronan, has fallen in love with an American girl, Grace Filden, and at her mother's invitation he comes to visit their ranch to see the western life. He is met at the station by the cowboys, who escort him to the ranch. Mrs. Filden is ambitious and would like her daughter to marry a title. Grace, though she is courteous and polite to the Englishman, prefers her cowboy lover. Her mother seeing this, tells the cowboy that Grace is engaged to Lord Ronan and sends him off. As he goes away he sees a Mexican greaser and hireling plotting together and the greaser writes a note and sends it off with the hireling. The cowboy notices the malicious expression on the Mexican's face, but continues to ride on. The note which the Mexican sent and which was supposed to come from the cowboy was a plot to bring Grace to a lonely spot. She, thinking to meet Bob, comes to the rendezvous and finds herself powerless in the hands of the two Mexicans. In the meantime, Bob remembering the Mexican's look, suspects and returns in time to see Grace carried off. A race follows in which the hireling, who is in the rear, is shot. Bob gains on the Mexican and finally manages to stop him. Bob takes Grace back and tells her he is going away forever. She cannot understand it and enters her home sad and forlorn. The Englishman, who has been waiting for her, proposes marriage and she bursts into tears, telling him of her love for Bob and his departure. The Englishman seeing the reason of Bob's departure, resolved to follow him, and learning from the other cowboys the direction Bob took, follows the track and overtakes him. Bob, learning that it is he who is loved, returns and the welcome he receives from Grace proves it to be true. The cowboy, true type of American, has won out against an English lord.
