Billy marries his daughter, and all goes happily until one day Ruth falls and hurts her ankle. "Billy" terrified lest she is seriously hurt, runs to the drug store for medicine, and learns that the bank has been closed through the misappropriation of funds by the cashier. His outlawry blood arouses and he and "the boys" rob the bank for the $37 in it which belongs to Bill and his wife. They ride to the mountains. Bill is shot and brought to jail. The old lawyer and his wife come to see him, and though Ruth is filled with disappointment at what has happened she is assured that her husband will be released. In the next cell is the cashier of the bank, and Bill, opening his copy of "The Word" hands it through the bars to his neighbor in captivity. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
