A Girl Worth Having

• Watchlist

The girl's brother goes to the bad and steals; he escapes the men who saw him steal and runs to his sister, who hides him in an old well. The sheriff and his men come to search the house, but find no one. The sheriff is in love with the girl and begs her forgiveness; this she does on on condition that he bring their friends and have a dance that night at her house. She hopes during the dance to let her brother make his escape. She succeeds in hiding him in her bed room. When the cowboys and girls come for the dance the girl will not allow any man to dance who carries a gun. They laughingly give them up to her. There is a rival to the girl, Ruth, who loves the sheriff also, but whom he does not love. Ruth finds out that the brother is in the house and tells the sheriff, but the men have no guns and the boy escapes. Before leaving the boy pins a note in his sister's sunbonnet, telling her to bring him a horse. The next day the sister finds the note, tears it up, but one piece, with the name of the cave, falls and Ruth gets it and takes it to the sheriff. He, with his men, starts after the boy. The sister arrives at the cave before the sheriff, where she changes clothes with her brother. When the sheriff and his men arrive, they see a girl riding down one road and a boy the other. They ride after the supposed boy. Unable to make the rider halt, they shoot, only to find they have shot the girl. In the end the girl forgives the sheriff and promises to marry him. The brother writes that he got away safely and promises to reform.
