Lasca

Fiery, impulsive yet pure-hearted Lasca lives in a Mexican settlement near the Rio Grande with her twin brother, Ricardo, and their aunt. She falls in love with cattle rancher Anthony Moreland, who is fond of Lasca, but thinks of her as a child. When the flirtatious Clara Vane falls in love with Anthony, Lasca stabs him in a fit of rage, then binds his wound and begs forgiveness. Clara's fiancé, John Davis, also seeks revenge against Anthony and bribes one of the rancher's men to stampede his cattle during an impending storm. Anthony falls from his horse in the path of the approaching herd, and Lasca is killed using her body to shield his. Ricardo avenges his sister by leaving John to die in quicksand. Anthony buries Lasca, builds a shrine, and remains faithful to her the rest of his life.
