Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Seeking vengeance for his imprisoned father, Tom Theron kills the judge who passed sentence on him. Jack Benson, sweetheart of the judge’s daughter, is a witness of the crime. The Theron gang warn him to leave the country on pain of death, and he obeys. In the next township he meets the judge’s widow and daughter, who have left their home, and the girl upbraids him for cowardice when she discovers his knowledge of the crime. Her information comes through a note sent by the Therons to Jack, warning him to move on. Stung by the girl’s taunt, Benson returns to the forbidden ground, tells the sheriff what he knows, and then, attacked by the Therons, fights a desperate battle until help, summoned by the girl, arrives in the nick of time, and he is saved, although his wounds are many.
