While Bert temporarily leaves the scene the spying Mexicans come on, throw a blanket over the surprised girl and carry her off. Bert soon returns, sees signs of a struggle and follows the trail made by the abductor?.
After a long hunt he finds Pedro's shack in the mountains. He acts quickly, but a false step gives the advantage to Pedro. The girl thinks rapidly. She comes to her lover's aid by breaking the lamp. Then there is a stru.ggle in the dark. Two shots are fired. Soon Bert draws a deep breath, sits on the edge of a table, roll? a cigarette and lights it; while in the shadow is the dead body of Pedro.
