Synopsis

"Because of financial reverses Don Almeda offers his daughter, Maria, to Don Alvarez, though she does not love him. Terry O'Neill arrives at the Southern California settlement in which the Almedas live, and is slightly wounded when Alvarez's henchmen seek to rob him. He is found by Maria, to whom he loses his heart. Just before the wedding, O'Neill waylays Alvarez ... and takes his place at a fiesta. Alvarez appears and denounces him. Later, Alvarez ... slays the padre with O'Neill's knife. Denouncing O'Neill as the murderer, Alvarez tries to shoot him, but wounds Maria, who throws herself in front of him. Later, she succeeds in proving that Alvarez is the thief and murderer, and everything ends happily for Maria and O'Neill." ( MPW 21 Oct 1922, p. 704.)
