Harry, the one who was fortunate in winning the fair maiden a few years previous, is bitterly hated by his rival, Frank, and the latter in a cowardly manner shoots his enemy. Harry, who is wounded severely, makes his way to the cabin, where he hides in the loft. Shortly after Frank and his comrades enter the place, and search it thoroughly, knowing that their victim is only wounded, they intend finishing him. Their efforts to find Harry are in vain, and Frank seating himself at the table orders food from the terrified woman. Suddenly the ruffian is stupefied to see a drop of blood fall from the ceiling on to his hand. He glances up, and seeing the blood oozing through the crack, he at once realizes that his man is above. Harry, too weak to remain in hiding any longer, and realizing that he is captured, descends, and is bound by his enemies and thrown to the floor. The culprits then take Bess and her father, and carry them off, after setting fire to the house. Little Billie, Harry's son, who was hidden in a chest, slips out, and after liberating his father, he seizes a bucket and proceeds to extinguish the blaze. Then jumping upon his horse, the youngster dashes off in pursuit of the enemy. He finds their hiding place, after which he returns to his father. whom he guides to the outlaws' camp. An exciting combat takes place, in which Harry hides behind a pile of wood, hut his enemy climbs on top, and is about to shoot him, when prevented by the quick action of Billie, who, seeing his father's peril, fires, killing the notorious Frank on the spot.
