- The story of a man's gratitude to a snake for saving his life: He takes the snake home to live with him and then conceives the idea of having the snake kill the man who stole his sweetheart. He places it in the other man's bed. But when the little daughter of the girl he had once loved creeps into the bed, he has a change of heart.—Anonymous
- Tony, a young Mexican, sweetheart of Inez, finds Jose making love to her. He chides Jose, who leaves in anger, and lays in wait for "Happy Tony." Tony, unsuspecting, falls a victim of a great stone which Jose, from a high point, throws down on him, and while insensible, Jose raises a dagger to strike the unconscious Tony, when an enormous rattlesnake strikes the would-be assassin in the leg, and in fear and horror he drops his knife and runs for a mud hole. Tony comes to, follows his rival, sees him meet his end, a victim of the poison of the rattler. In the interim, an American surveyor, (Jack Gordon), passes Inez's home and inquires his way. Inez otters to show him, and on their way to the mine hears Tony laughing hysterically. They come upon him and the victim of the reptile. Inez and the American continue on their journey and Tony goes home to his mother and sister, the snake in his arms. That evening Tony calls upon Inez and is told she will never speak to him again until the snake is dead. He refuses to kill it. The young American arrives in time to console Inez. Years later we find the American engineer at his work. Tony, whose association with the snake has made him anything but human, comes upon the surveyor and is about to shoot him, when he hears his former sweetheart calling her husband. He watches the fond embrace of the man and wife and turns and sees back to his hovel. At night Tony stealthily enters the American's home and places the rattler in the bed of his enemy. Fortunately for Gordon, he wakes in time to follow the shadow through the window. Inez's child wakes, having forgotten to kiss her papa good night. The mother takes her into the room and the child gets in bed with the reptile. Tony, knowing he is being pursued, stops at the window and sees the child in the bed. His love goes out for the innocent babe and he jumps through the window and saves her. After he is confronted, he kills the snake, but receives a poisonous wound. Six mouths inter we find Tony minus the arm that was bitten. Tony's and Inez's families have a happy reunion.—Moving Picture World synopsis
