A Shot in Time (1910)
Jealousy, which brings about so much trouble, is the basis of this story. Lillian, the pretty daughter of a snake hunter, is in conversation with her Mexican sweetheart, when a tally-ho, which holds a party of folks, stops at their door. One of the new arrivals, a fine looking chap, pays, according to the Mexican, over much attention to Lillian, and naturally attains for himself the ill will of Max. After the snake hunt the tally-ho departs, taking away all of the party. Frank leaves behind with Lillian a flower and many fond thoughts. The flower is rudely taken from her by Max and, when she resents the action, is saved from him by the Indian servant. Max goes among the rocks in search of rattlers, determining to end Frank's life with their deadly poison. His dastardly act is watched by the Indian, who follows him back to the hunter's house. Frank comes, bringing with him flowers for Lillian. She serves him with a drink and while he is watching her the Mexican empties into Frank's glass the poison which he had extracted and put into a vial, He then proposes a toast and Frank is about to respond to it when his glass is broken by a shot fired by the Indian who has been watching and has taken this means of preventing the crime. The Mexican tries to escape, but after an explanation is made by the Indian Max is bound and taken away. Frank and Lillian receive her father's blessing, so "all's well that ends well."
