| Three Godfathers (1916) |
| Three outlaws fleeing a posse through the desert come upon a dying woman and her baby in a wagon. Before she passes away, she makes the men promise to take care of her baby and get it safely through the desert. /// Three bandits, escaping from the scene of a bank robbery they have committed, are caught in a sand storm which serves to obliterate their trail, but works disaster in their immediate vicinity. A prospector strays from his traveling outfit and perishes in the storm. The three bandits come upon the "prairie schooner" just at the time the prospector's wife gives birth to a child and dies, leaving the infant in care of the bandits. Miles away from any habitation, the methods employed by these hardy men to sustain life in the body of the newborn babe, and the tenderness in which they fulfill their strangely imposed mission, constitutes a remarkable example of human kindness. When the three men are able to proceed toward the nearest settlement, two of them die as a result of wound |
