A Cowboy's Generosity (1910)
A poor old couple owe to a crafty, unprincipled old Mexican payment on a mortgage. He comes to collect the amount, they tearfully acknowledge their inability to pay and they are told to vacate. Their daughter, Inez, a pretty, happy-natured damsel, comes in and realizes the awful situation. She appeals to the old man and be makes a bargain with the aged couple; the daughter as payment. This they refuse, but Inez decides to the contrary, and, taking the paper, tears it, giving the pieces to her father and bids them a sorrowful adieu. The old man is well satisfied with the deal, and after a patronizing farewell, helps his youthful companion into his carriage. She weeps all the way to his residence and when ushered into the reception room her grief is boundless. He attempts to pacify and caress her, but she flees from the house, he following after. She appeals to an American cowboy for protection, but the odds are against him, he is overpowered by three Mexicans, who obey the wrathy old man. The poor cowboy is led to a shack, bound hand and foot and left guarded by the three Mexicans. Inez is locked in a room, there to remain until submissive. The wide-awake American is not passive, he seizes the opportunity to silence his guard and then loosens his hands and feet. This done he downs the other two Mexicans and makes his way to the house. After a search he finds Inez and together they escape. When the old man goes again to her home for her, he is met by the suave American, who gives him the money on his mortgage and hastens his departure. The finale is predestined. The American cowboy and Inez find solace in each other's charms and the old couple in their child's happiness.
