A Woman's Better Nature (1910)
During a skirmish over a card game in a western tavern old Dunn Sikes is wounded. He, however, mounts his horse and manages to reach his cabin, but just in time. He falls to the ground and Sue, his daughter, runs to him, but he has gone on a journey "from which no traveler returns." Sue hastens to her friends, who return with her to bury her father. Mexico, a gambler, shows his tenderness for Sue when he leads her away from the grave, and they become close companions. At the gambling room Mexico is planning to fleece two easterners and counts on Sue to help. She refuses and is roughly thrown aside. She succeeds in hiding her pain, but decides she can no longer submit to such treatment and leaves a note telling of her determination to go away. When she reaches the city she is made sport of because of her western attire. She draws her gun and is left in peace. A policeman is about to lead her off, but Richard comes to her aid and whisks her away in a taxi. Three months later find her a happy bride and mistress of a luxurious home. One day as she and her husband enter their automobile, Mexico, down on his luck, goes by and determines to profit by his discovery of Sue. He later forces an entrance and extorts money from her. This he spends in a merry crowd and when the money is gone he returns for more. Sue declares she has none, so he takes her jewelry. She is grieved beyond expression and tells her husband all about it. When Mexico returns a third time he is met by Richard, who quickly, and none too gently, puts him out. Sue and Richard resume their happy, peaceful life.
