The Tiger Man ratings (Movie, 1918)

Hawk Parsons and his gang of ruthless outlaws escape from jail and ride far into the New Mexican desert, where they discover a band of emigrants stranded without water. Hawk is so smitten with Ruth Ingram, the wife of the Rev. Luke Ingram, that he agrees to lead the wagon train to safety, but on the way, the party is attacked by Indians. In the distance, Hawk sees U.S. cavalry troops on horseback, but because several members of the posse assigned to track him down are included in the band, he hesitates to send them a distress signal. Finally, Hawk allows the travelers to send their message on the condition that he may leave with Ruth, and as the wagon train is rescued, he reaches his mountain lair with the woman he loves. When Ruth attempts suicide, Hawk then realizes his selfishness, and after returning her to her husband, he turns himself over to the sheriff.
