Broncho Billy Wins Out

Broncho Billy and the coward are both in love with the school teacher at Snakeville. Broncho is accepted, and the coward, mad with jealousy, induces the unsuspecting rival to carry through a mock hold-up. When Broncho Billy appears as a highwayman, the school teacher shoots at him. The coward has left the crowd and fires at Broncho.

Directed by Gilbert M. Anderson, Broncho Billy Wins Out leans on a strong ensemble — Gilbert M. Anderson, Marguerite Clayton, Harry Todd — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1914.
