In the Wild West (1910)
The wild, exciting life of the western man, with its pleasures and dangers, is clearly described in this picture. It shows what a momentous fact is pay day. The cowboys lose not time in going before the ranchman to get their "bit" and leave him in good spirits and to find a way of ridding themselves of their wealth. They all mount their horses and with much hilarity make their way to the main street in town, where is a saloon and dance hall. Here they enjoy themselves to the fullest extent. Meantime four robbers, who are more disposed to plunder that to enjoyment, hold up a stage coach and take possession of a cash box, besides the passengers' valuable. They permit the driver to go on his way, which now is to the sheriff's office to advise him of the deed. He goes to the dance hall in search of volunteers and finds all the cowboys willing and eager to unearth the robbers. The four gentlemen of the road, come into the woods to divide their spoils. While busily engaged in this they hear the approach of horses and make haste to get away. The sheriff and the cowboys, who had found the trail, soon come to the spot, see the empty cash box and again start after. Here ensues a lively chase between the robbers and their pursuers. The former, however, are cornered on the edge of a precipice. They make a strong fight but eventually are overcome. They are then relieved of their ill-gotten goods.
