What happens

The Distant Relative è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Allan Dwan. Insieme a un complice, una donna si è installata in casa di due giovani sorelle rimaste orfane, sue lontane parenti che le sono state affidate come pupille. Lo scopo della donna è quello di impadronirsi del ranch delle ragazze che verranno aiutate a contrastare il suo piano dai cowboy del posto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
