The Empty Gun (1917)
Frank, riding through the storm, approaches the station, to give ten thousand dollars worth of gold, which he has just brought from the mine, into safe keeping. Dave the agent hears him, and when he finally appeared, disappointment awaited Frank. "I can't take charge of the money," says Dave. "I'm sorry, Frank, but the train is late, and the gold can't go on tonight. I saw two suspicious-looking characters hanging around here, and I won't take the responsibility." Mary, formerly beautiful, but now haggard from work and loneliness, stands at the window of her dilapidated shack clenching a letter which says: "Dear Frank - You and I know it was you, and not Jim, that started me on the downward path, but I did not know you persuaded me to accuse him so that you could marry that innocent thing you were both in love with." Mary can hardly keep back the tears and when Frank enters, she keeps her back turned, even when he remarks he supposes she is crying again because she is sorry she married him. After putting the gold In a drawer, Frank leaves the shack. Shortly afterward Mary goes and stares at the gold, then fingers the revolver which lies near by, and sits by the fire, lost in reverie. Jim knocks at the door. Mary asks who it is, but Jim will only answer: "A stranger lost in the storm." She opens the door. Both are startled and delighted. Jim picks up the gun and asks what she is doing with an empty gun. Laughing, he loads it. Mary shows Jim the note and he is angry. She sees he still loves her and pleads with him to take her away. Jim takes her in his arms. Then, thinking of Frank, determines to make him account for the past. He leaves to find Frank. Frank is attacked by one of the tramps, but overpowering him, exchanges clothes with him and hurries to the shack. The wind from an open window blows out the lamp. Mary hears a noise and sees only a man's eyes, and when he enters the room she orders him to stop, but he only smiles. As he still approaches, Mary fires and he springs at her: they struggle. Jim, undecided as to the direction of the station, returns to ask Mary. He jumps into the struggle, but the stranger is getting the best of the fight; he breaks away, picks up a heavy object and swings it above his head to strike Jim, who has already been knocked to the floor. Mary picks up the gun again and fires at the stranger, who sinks to the floor. Jim puts his arms around Mary; he removes the mask from the man's face, and both are horrified to see Frank. "It is the judgment of the Highest Court," says Jim, solemnly. Moving Picture World, September 8, 1917
