The Ranger's Romance

• 1914
• Other, Action & Adventure

A Texas settler and his daughter, Sally, start on a journey in a prairie schooner after bidding farewell to Sally's mother and to Tom, the ranger, who is operating in the neighborhood on a lookout for cattle rustlers and illicit whiskey sellers. The great wagon is hauled out of the corral by a pair of spirited horses, while ranger Tom departs to take up the trail of a "bootlegger" who is reported to have been operating among the Indians thereabouts. The prairie schooner pursues its way along the winding trail, while Sally familiarizes herself with the use of a repeating rifle. Ranger Tom locates the trail of the "bootlegger," follows it and discovers the object of his quest, wounded after a conflict with renegade Indians who have seized his stock of whiskey. The Indians, maddened by drink, have sighted the prairie schooner and pursue it. They engage in a running fight which lasts until the wagon breaks down, knocking the settler unconscious, while Sally bravely fights the Indians with the rifle. She is taken a prisoner, carried off by the Indians, but ranger Tom follows, rescues her and the old story of love is told again when Tom wins his bride.
