Daring Chances

When his sister, who is married to saloon keeper Joe Slavin, dies, Jack Armstrong takes in her little daughter, Bebe. Sampson Burke, his rival for schoolteacher Agnes Rushton, conspires with Slavin to have Jack arrested for abduction, but Jack is released to participate in a rodeo. The child and the gate receipts are stolen by Slavin, but he is killed, the child is rescued, and the teacher is won by Jack. —AFI Catalog
