Plot

[edit]

Saloon girl Belle Shields falls in love with and marries Alexander Austin, the town's new pastor, much to the chagrin of her sweetheart, "Silent" Texas Smith. Texas smolders with jealousy until Alexander lends him a fist during a bar fight, marking the beginning of a strong, respected friendship. Belle, having reformed herself into a proper pastor's wife, slips back into her old ways, and must rely on Texas to save her from the advances of a foppish gambler.
