When Pals Quarrel (1911) Online
Dick Roberts is in love with Bess Carew, daughter of a wealthy ranchman. Hal Stephens is also, but Bess's affections are directed toward Dick. Hal kisses Bess one day in front of a crowd; she rebukes him severely and tells Dick, who threatens him if he ever attempts the insult again. Dick is asking the old man Carew's consent to marry Bess, but on leaving the house, drops a glove, and Hal finds the glove and goes to the back of the house, climbs to the rood, shoots old man Carew through a window, enters the house and escapes with the money. On entering the house, he kicks a trick horse brutally. He escapes and has a fight with his old pal Tom Higgins and shoots him. At the same time Dick is arrested for the murder of old man Carew, Hal having put his glove alongside Carew's dead body. He is tried and freed and through a clever bit of animal acting the trick horse accuses Hal of the crime.
