The Ranch Woman (1912)
In this story of western life on the border, Peggy Wilson, a ranch widow comely and winsome, has become infatuated with Juan Gonzales, a Mexican gambler. To be sure, she doesn't know that Juan is really the character he is, although her cowboys try to open her eyes to the fact, especially her foreman, Bill Shank, who has a tender streak himself in her direction. The Mexican, pretending great devotion for the widow, manages to extract various sums of money from her willing coffers, which he gambles away. For a side diversion, Juan has a beautiful senorita as a string to his bow, and she proves his undoing with the widow. Treating the senorita, as was his wont in a hasty way, her mother urges her to betray his double dealing in hearts and cards to the widow. This she does. The widow, aroused by the information received, verifies its truth in person and casts her infatuation and its cause to the dogs. The spurned Mexican lover vows vengeance and proceeds to carry it out. He plots dire deeds against the widow. In the meantime, Dark Cloud, a Chippewa brave, whom the widow had done a good turn earlier in the game, sees a chance to befriend his benefactress. The fateful moment which the villain has set for the dark purpose, is the ringing of the Angelus. This moment arrives and the widow is there, lured to her doom. But so also is Dark Cloud, and the vile Mexican meets his Waterloo. The Indian lifted him into the air and hurled him over the brow of the cliffs.
