Realizing that MacQueen loves Melissa, Boone, one of the outlaws, sends a note to her in the Indian cache where she is guarded over by a squaw, telling her he will aid her to escape. The note falls into the hands of MacQueen, who shoots Boone in the act of fleeing with the girl. Jack Flatray, the sheriff, who also loves Melissa, finds West and O'Connell, releases them, but is himself caught. His sentence to die is suspended only by the promise of Melissa that she will marry MacQueen. MacQueen breaks faith with Melissa and imprisons Flatray. He escapes, however, and meets MacQueen and his bride on the edge of a precipice. The men fight, and MacQueen falls into the seething water and is drowned. Written by
