The Night Rustlers (1910)
A Chinese cook spies upon two rustlers, who discover and bind him to a tree by the roadside. The horse of the night herder is then stolen and the entire herd of cattle rustled away. The herder awakes and starts in pursuit on foot. Nearly dying of thirst, he falls unconscious within a few feet of water. The rancher's daughter finds the Chinaman the next morning and releases him; the alarm is given, the cowboys start in pursuit, accompanied by the girl, who is in love with the night herder, and a brilliant display of horsemanship is given. The night herder is found and the girl stops and revives him while the boys swoop down upon the rustlers, who are captured and turned over to the sheriff. The last scene shows the herder and the girl sitting on the bars of the corral, where he is shyly making love. Her father and mother come on the scene and the latter is shocked, but her husband pantomimically persuades her to leave the lovers in peace.
