Her Brother&apos;s Pard

Sam Prior, one of four mining partners, receives a letter telling him that an uncle has died bequeathing to him a fortune. Sam, a black sheep, has not seen his folks for fifteen years. With Jack Norton he obtains from a justice of the peace a letter of identification. Sam becomes drunk in a low dive, in the fight which ensues a gambler is killed. Circumstances point to Jack as being the gambler. When Sam is drowned after an orgy, Jack is arrested, charged with murder. In his pocket is Sam's letter of identification which he was keeping for his friend. He successfully masquerades as Sam. Jack goes to claim Sam's legacy and meets a girl who is introduced to him as his sister, whom he is supposed not to have seen for fifteen years. Jack learns to love his "sister," who worships her big "brother." Ashamed of his deception he goes away, leaving a note explaining all, and that he loves her, not in a "brotherly way." The girl, realizing her own deep affection for him, follows Jack to the mines. Juan, a Mexican, implicated in the fight in which the gambler had been killed, has become outlawed through his crime and now captains a band of Mexicans. They raid and ransack the miner's camp. They next attack the girl and her miner escort, leaving him for dead and carrying away the girl as a consort for Juan. The supposedly dead miner revives and gets the news to Jack of Juan's villainy. The miner goes for help while Jack goes to Juan's camp. He acts the part of a boastful desperado and accredits to himself the killing of the gambler. Juan angry, demonstrates how he himself did the killing to settle an old grievance. Juan's scouts tell him of the arrival of the sheriff and his posse. Suspecting Jack he overpowers him and leaves him in a cabin, to which he sets fire. The sheriff dashes in and the girl braves the smoke and fire to rescue Jack. When he emerges carrying her, Juan, fighting desperately, fires his last shot at Jack and misses. The sheriff arrests Jack, who is quickly freed upon the girl's substantiation of Juan's confession.
