...by the cast. Grace Cunard is out west visiting her brother John Ford when a masked bandit comes riding up to the tree she is reading in and demands a kiss. He refuses, then boasts that some day she will kiss him willingly. The next day she is out motoring with her brother when they run out of gas -- imagine wasting that on a sister! -- and while he walks to town to fetch more gas, she waits in a house that's there. In walks Francis Ford, the bandit!
It's a nice short, but what it most interesting is the appearance of John Ford in his older brother's movie. John was doing some stunt work on the Universal lot, and soon would become a director, but older brother Francis and Miss Cunard were big noises at the time, star of features and serials, and the occasional short like this one.
