The Colonel, mistaken for Ogden by Taylor, a rival for Betty's hand, is shot and killed by Taylor, who leaves evidence pointing to Ogden as the killer.

- A Kentucky Colonel, cured of the morphine habit by his daughter, Betty, has gone west for his health. He is followed by a neighbor named Taylor, who loves Betty and is trying to sell her father a mine. The Colonel hires Choo, a Chinese engineer and graduate of Yale, to inspect the property. The Chinaman's report is unfavorable. Choo, too, loves Betty, but she accepts Ogden, after saving him from being lynched as a horse thief. She conceals him in her own room and cures him of the morphine habit. When he is well he says he will go back to his people, get money to marry her and return in three days. On his way out, Taylor, in a jealous rage, shoots at him, but hits and kills the Colonel. Betty believes Ogden has done this, and plans to revenge herself by betraying him to the ranchmen. She makes them promise not to seize him until she has seen him. "I will ring the bell three three times," she says, "Then you can come and lynch him." All Ogden's protestations are unavailing till Taylor comes in and in a drunken temper reveals himself as the murderer. Choo arrives just in time to save the couple. Taylor he kills with a knife, and when Betty and Ogden have left he rings the bell three times. The ranchmen find him there calmly smoking a cigarette.—Moving Picture World synopsis
