He introduces himself to Mr. Childs, his niece Anne, and Tom Beckett. Tom bears a silent love for Anne; she admires young Fiske. Harvey asks her to marry him and gains her uncle's consent. After their wedding, the Mexican who threatened Fiske returns and demands the loan of $50 from; he grants it, plainly showing that he is afraid to refuse. When the "Greaser" threatens him again, Anne defies him and drives him from the house. Fiske's fellow citizens elect him sheriff and he's told that a bandit is lurking in the vicinity and he must arrest him at once. Seized with fear, Fiske refuses to go. Anne's suppressed feeling of contempt arouses her to a determination to hide her husband's "yellow streak" by going after the bandit herself. She runs him down, they exchange shots, and she kills him and makes her husband take the dead man to town and claim that he captured the bandit himself. His friends and neighbors are proud of him. In a state of collapse, Anne watches from her home the honor which she brought to her husband, rather than have a blot upon her family's escutcheon. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
