his daughter, Carmelita. Early in the story, Marshall is forced by Severn's cruelty to fight for the protection of the horse Silver King. He wins the fight and the horse. Later the horse is stolen by Severn and sold for "bull bait."
The big scene is set in a Mexican bull-fight arena where Silver King is about to be gored by a ferocious bull. But Marshall trailing his beloved horse finally finds him in the arena and hurdling down over tiers of boxes and leaping across the heads of the crowd he grapples with the bull and finally throws him and saves the horse. He also wins the love of Carmelita whom he had previously rescued from a runaway stage coach. Later Severn is branded as the leader of the smugglers.
An unusual story and extremely entertaining. Plenty of thrilling action with laughs and chuckles scattered through it with a lavish hand. The cast is excellent and the plot smooth and well developed.

Squire Burrows covets the farm of Thomas Gains and plots to obtain possession of it. Having failed to interest Gains in his offer for the farm he plans to have Gains' son, Silas, marry Zelda, his daughter. Silas is flattered at the possibility of possessing the prettiest girl in the country and soon becomes engaged to her.
In order to obtain money for some clothes he steals from his father. His younger brother, Johnny, is suspected and cruelly punished for Silas' wrongdoing, receiving a blow that later on destroys the sight of one eye.
To the Gains' farm come two wanderers, Grandpa Schultz and his lovelylittle granddaughter, Anna. Gains is against taking a German into his home, but his wife, Mary, succeeds in gaining his consent. Johnny and Anna fall in love.

Meantime, Squire Burrows hastens the marriage of Silas and Zelda so that Silas will escape conscription, but the better nature of the boy triumphs and he enlists and sails for France. Then word comes from Johnny that Silas has been killed. Zelda, who for some time past had been treating the old people cruelly, is now free and she promptly claims the farm and turns them out.
