Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Phil Stone, a young cowboy, makes two enemies by rescuing a boy and his dog from an evil pair of ranchers, and, after he goes to work on a ranch owned by a Blendy Betts, the enemies begin operations. There follows a period of peril during which both hero and heroine nearly lose their lives. When Blendy is kidnapped and ends up in the river, Phil comes to her rescue. In the end, the desperate pair of scheming rangers are defeated and the young woman ranch owner and her employee are married.
