A Modern Knight剧情介绍

Percival Cadwallader Perkins was so bashful that whenever a woman would look at him he would blush like a beet, and this brought the \"Happy Family,\" the cowboys of the Flying U, to calling him \"Pink.\" Seeking real atmosphere, the Climax Motion Picture Company comes to the west. In search of some strays, Pink from a distance sees a woman struggling fiercely with a man, and dashes to the rescue. He tears the man from the girl, and kicks him down a small bluff. And then he finds that he has interrupted the filming of a moving picture scene. Jackson, the director, calls Ruby, the leading woman aside, and tells her to make love to Pink and keep him hanging around, that it would be a good thing to have him working in the pictures. Ruby certainly succeeds so well that in a short time Pink proposes to her. She, too, has fallen in love, but she tells him that she is already married, but that her husband had treated her so brutally that she left him. A stagecoach hold-up is arranged. But two crooks overhear their plans and conclude to take a hand themselves. The stage is stopped, and the passengers get out and line up, all thinking it is but a movie stunt. From a distance Pink watches, his cue being to rush in when a shot is fired. But when he makes a run towards the scene, a bullet from one of the men clips his ear. He rides to them, and furiously upbraids them for using real cartridges when they are only supposed to use blanks. For reply, one of the crooks knocks him down, and grabbing Ruby, they throw her into the stage, and the driver is ordered to move along. Down the road a little farther the moving picture company is waiting. But the stage passes them on the run, and then it develops that a real hold-up has been perpetrated. Inside the stage Ruby is held by one of the crooks, who unmasks, and she recognizes her husband. While on the top of the stagecoach the other crook and the driver are in a fierce fight. Pink and the cowboys give chase to the stage, which is fast approaching a broken bridge. Pink manages to pull Ruby from the stage just as it goes over a cliff. The crooks are both killed, and now that she is free, Ruby gladly consents to marry Pink.
