在这部The Black Sheep剧情/短片片中,
Jim Foster is driven from his father's home because of his quick temper and drinking habits. His coming to blows with the farmhands at the supper table was the last straw. Jim wanders to the southwest, where he becomes a cowboy. He falls gracefully into their habits and each pay day sees him \"blowing his roll.\" One of these big days a quarrel started among some of the boys and Jim is drawing his gun accidentally discharges it, killing a cowboy whom he had been unfriendly to. The sheriff knowing of this feeling cannot be convinced but that it was intentional, and Jim in escaping becomes an outlaw with a price on his head. About this time Jim's father is struck by lightning and killed. His mother writes him to come home. He receives this from the post boy, who is friendly to him. Jim decides to hold up the stage to get money to return with. While laying in ambush for the stage he sees a band of Indians hovering around with evidently the same intentions as himself. Jim jumps astride his horse and rides to town and brings the sheriff and posse back with him in time to rescue the stage. Jim's sweetheart from his home town was in the stage. She had come out to bring Jim home to mother, which she did after she induced the sheriff to drop the charge that was against him.
