The fact that McConnell is already engaged to a most charming girl, but whets his eagerness to comply with the terms of the will, and everything is arranged that he should go to his estate and that his sweetheart should follow him and be married in Mexico. Upon his arrival in the Mexican village, a wily Mexican, by the name of Felix, learns the conditions under which McConnell inherits the estate, and coaching his sister as to what to do, he manages to make her compromise herself with McConnell to such an extent that Felix feels justified in forcing McConnell to marry his sister at the point of a revolver. A few days after the ceremony, McConnell's real sweetheart appears, only to find him already married. Felix tries to win the pretty little American girl himself and this leads to a running fight between McConnell and Felix, in which Felix's sister is killed by a stray bullet. This, of course, ends the difficulty and McConnell and his little American bride are now enjoying life on their estate in Mexico. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
