Synopsis
As his blind mother approaches death, Jack goes to bring home his cowardly brother Jim, a cattle rustler living about forty miles away, in response to his mother's yearning. After Curley, a rustler in Jim's gang, tries to incite a rebellion among the rustlers by trying to prove Jim's cowardice, Jack puts a patch over his eye to impersonate Jim, who is blind in one eye, and faces up to Curley's challenge, which involves the retrieval from a notorious saloon of a pistol belonging to Jim's sweetheart Doris, who believes Jim to be respectable. After Curley tells the sheriff the rustlers' identities for a $4,000 reward, Jack tells Jim to return to their mother, and goes to be hanged in Jim's place. When Jim, thrown from his horse, confesses before he dies, Doris rushes to save Jack. Jack returns home with Doris and impersonates Jim before his mother, who joins his hand to Doris' and dies happily.
