Prudence Winthrop and her six
brothers and sisters are left orphans,
when the father is shot by Mexicans
who have learned that there is gold
on the Winthrop property. The chill
dren go east to stay with their uncle,
Caleb winthrop, but return TO Califor-
mia when Jose. who is in love with
Prudence. writes that the Mexicans are
trying to get the land away from the
Winthrop estate.
Garcia. the Spanish leader is deter
mined to get the gold at all costs. and
the rancho is besieged by him and his
men. After hard fight, the United
States troops come to the aid of the
Winthrop forces just in time. and peace
is restored. Miss Love. a familiar TIL
angle star. is an appealing actress. and
does excellent work as Prudence. The
several scenes with the children are
among the best in the whole picture.
