Mexican Bill (1909)
Inez, Major Kingston's daughter, while riding to the ranch house, meets Mexican Bill as he is just chasing an Indian off the land. The poor fellow was at the river drinking water when Mexican Bill kicked him into the stream. Enraged, Inez takes her riding crop and beats Bill unmercifully. He turns towards her, but is soon given a dose of his own medicine by Yorel, Inez's lover. Mexican Bill swears revenge. He speedily rides to Major Kingston's house and tells him of the cowboy's love affair with Inez. When Yorel appears with Inez, Major Kingston shows him the door, with instructions never to approach his girl again. Yorel puts his horse away and then returns to the old man to tell him of his love for Inez. At this moment Mexican Bill raises the window and fires a shot at the old man, who drops to the floor. Mexican Bill rides to the ranch house and gives the alarm, saying that Yorel killed Major Kingston. The Indian, who was a witness of the incident, tries to tell the truth, but is choked by Mexican Bill, gagged and bound and thrown down an embankment, where he is later found by Inez. She, together with the Indian, tell the truth about Mexican Bill's outrage. The boys free Yorel and chase after Mexican Bill, who, even though having a big lead, is captured after some swift riding. He is brought before the old man, who confirms Yorel's innocence. Mexican Bill is strung up, while Yorel gets the hand of his sweetheart.
