Good Pals Filming Locations

John Kane, who is passionately fond of his sweet little daughter, has opened his house to a spinster cousin of his, who is alone in the world. Jane repays his kindness by secret envy and hate, and her chief passion in life is the hoarding of the money given her and counting it over and over. On the surface, however, she is suave and smiling. On only one thing does she palpably show the hate which settles within her; she detests Shep, the beautiful and intelligent collie dog belonging to Beatrice and the idol of her heart. Kane sells his ranch and departs for home. Having dismounted from his horse to make camp, he is attacked by bears, and seriously injured. He is found, apparently dead, by an unscrupulous frontiersman, who removes the money belt, containing the $15,000, and also the letter announcing the offer for the ranch. The frontiersman goes to the nearest gambling hall, and risking the stolen money in play, adds to it considerably. The large sum of money in his possession is noticed by two bandits, who follow him as he leaves, waylay and kill him. They are about to rob him, when they are driven away by the sheriff, who has watched and suspected them. The money and the letter giving Kane's address, are found upon the body and the sheriff, assuming that the dead man is Kane, sends the money to a lawyer in the same city, with instructions to turn it over to the legal heir. The lawyer thus turns over the money to Jane as the legal guardian of the child. Overjoyed at the windfall she plans to keep the money herself and not to reveal the source of it to Beatrice. Finding now an opportunity to give vent to her hate she tells her that her good-for-nothing father is dead, that she is a pauper and will have to work for a living. Dressed in rags and broken-hearted with abuse, the child is banished to the attic, where only the faithful dog, who finds his way to her in spite of all obstacles, keeps her company. How Mr. Kane recovered and came home to expose the villainy of the woman and rescue his daughter, is one of the best parts of a very good story.
