action
Don Almeda is in financial difficulties and therefore offers his daughter, Maria, Don Alvarez, even though she does not love him. Terry O'Neil arrives at the settlement in Southern California where the Almedas live. He was slightly wounded when Alvarez's henchmen tried to rob him. He is found by Maria, to whom he loses his heart. O'Neal takes Alvarez's place at a masquerade ball. Alvarez appears and denounces him. Alvarez later kills the priest with O'Neal's knife. Alvarez denounces O'Neal as a murderer and tries to shoot him, but wounds Maria, who throws herself between them. She later manages to prove that Alvarez is the thief and murderer, and everything ends happily for Maria and O'Neal.
technology
The film used the anaglyph 3D process. What was special here was that the viewer could decide whether he wanted to see a happy ending or a tragic ending in which he closed one eye.
