As described in a film magazine,[4] the Tigress (Guinan), who is famous for her quick draw and straight shooting, finds herself softened by love when she meets the Gent (McDonald) and his whisperings of a home for two, which make the Tigress believe in him. She entrusts her savings to his care so that he can prepare a home for them. When she learns that she has been betrayed, she kills the Gent. She buries her love so that when the Bostonian (Brady), a detective who had been on the trail of the Gent, offers her his name, she refuses it.
