In the heart of the West, when cattle pastured every valley, and solitary horsemen rode the ranges, there reigned supreme that romantic figure—the cow-puncher.
00:52
One among-hem—a southern importation, who roped steers more easily that the best—The Virginian.
Dustin Farnum.

Back in Vermont. Molly Wood struggles for a living teaching music.
02:27
"You needn't come again. Jennie isn't making any headway."
02:40
The Virginian, fearless and strong, has for his best friend the easily led, lovable Steve.

SALOON
03:09
"Stay here overnight, pard, we'll liven things up."
03:24
Meanwhile, Molly—disheartened—has cast about for a new way to earn her living.
03:36
Dear Miss Wood,
Your application
received. Your credentials
being satisfactory,
if you can leave for
the West immediately,
the position of
school-mistress is
open to you.
Respectfully
Bear Creek School Board
Mr. J. F.
04:10
"I am so glad you are accepting this opportunity to go to the great west."
04:31
The leader in all devilry at Bear Creek is Trampas—broncho-buster—tin-horn gambler and bully.
05:02
"If you're goin' to stick around this table you gotta sit in!"
05:40
"It's your bet—you son of a—"
05:46
"When you call me that, Trampas you smile!"
06:23
All beds in the hotel being occupied double, the Virginian bets the crowd he'll have one alone.
06:36
NOT ALLOWED
08:56
Molly reaches the great West.

"That's the Overland stage, lady, that takes yuh to Bear Creek."

Steve, the weakling, falls into bad habits—the worst of all bad habits in a cattle country.
10:46
"Pal, stick to rum, cards an' cussin'—keep your iron off another man's cattle."
11:20
"These ways ain't never been our ways, Steve. I'll have to keep my eye on you, or—you know what if means—"
11:43
"I insist that you throw that disgusting liquor away immediately—you brute!"
13:36
"If you're the new school ma'am, I reckon you're goin' to have a big class—all of us."
14:13
The Bear Creek folks hold a barbeque in Molly's honor.
14:23
Help YouRSelf
14:40
"You think the school ma'am's straight. If you knew what the stage driver told me—"
14:53
"Stand up on your legs, you pole-cat, an' tell them all you're a liar!"
15:56
"Let's us bachelors give these proud parents a scare."
17:47
And the proud parents, wearied by the evening's gaiety—fall readily into the plot of the bachelors.

"Here they come—madder'n hornets. You better make yourself scarce, Lin."
21:49
"Lin must a'done it. That's why he raced off when he saw you comin'."
22:07
"I did it."
22:41
"Aren't you ashamed—a great big man like you. I hate such uncouthness."
22:53
"We're all uncouth out here, ma'am. But you'll learn to like the west—an' you're goin' to love me!"
23:11
Trampas, selecting Steve as likely material for his gang, explains the profits derived from cattle-stealing.
23:38
While the Virginian, neglecting his pal, spends golden hours acquiring the rudiments of an education.
23:56
"Let me see what words you can spell best."
24:03
4+5=9
24:25
I lov you
24:51
The thieves led by Trampas, become more daring.
25:02
The cattle owners take action.
25:13
"We have sent for you to lead our posse."
25:36
"We suspect Trampas is the ring-leader of this gang—and Steve has joined them."
25:52
"You ain't goin' to let friendship for Steve stand in the way of Justice, are you?"
26:10
"I will go."
28:01
The cattle thieves give the posse the slip.
28:48
"We'll camp here for the night—an' watch!"
31:14
Seeing the the gang is cornered, Trampas and Shorty make a getaway.
32:37
"Do with them? Why there's only one thing to do with thieves! At daybreak, boys—"
33:28
To the two friends come memories of the many strange adventures faced together—as the long hours of the deathwatch pass.

36:16
"When they leave, get that paper the Virginian dropped."
36:56
"Only an old newspaper—'tain't worth nothin'."
37:21
One weary horse can't carry two fugitives very far.
38:02
On the trail of Trampas.
38:23
"This is part of the paper I gave to Steve!"
40:22
The children of Bear Creek are thrilled by the details—overheard—of the tragedy.
40:58
"We're playing he is Steve and I'm the Virginian."
42:02
"Man with much money is riding in the canyon."

School Board
Bear Creak, Wyo.
Gentlemen,
Have decided to
return East where
I belong — I tender
my resignation to
take place at once.
Very truly
Molly Wood.
46:18
"My pal Steve was a thief—but I had to keep my word—please understand, Molly!"
47:17
Convalescent.
47:32
"My handkerchief! Where did you get it?"
47:42
"The time I carried a prim eastern school ma'am in my arms."
48:14
The wedding day.
48:23
"This town will be celebratin' a funeral instead of a marriage."

HOTEL
48:45
"Trampas is in town."
49:05
"He's threatenin' to kill on sight."
49:23
Ready to face his worst enemy.
49:45
"I'll give you till sundown to get out of town!"
50:09
"—so get married at once, Molly, and leave."
50:28
Sundown.
51:01
"I coudn't marry a man with blood on his hands—come away for here, now."
51:18
"Trampas put Steve's head in the noose—now he's after me, an' I must be ready for him!"
51:58
"Time is up, Trampas, an' your man's still in town."
