As described in a film magazine review,[2] Buddy Benson's sweetheart, Rosalind, has been completely spoiled by attendance at an Eastern finishing school. She returns to the ranch jointly owned by her father and Buddy. Buddy, disillusioned, becomes enamored of Mary Ross, whose brother Dick owns the adjoining ranch. Dick's forieman, Jack Wells, is a cattle thief. Wells kills a man and fastens the guilt on Dick, demanding Mary as the price of his silence. Buddy disposes of Wells in a satisfactory fight, winning the friendship of Dick and the love of Mary.
