Plot

Jack Harding (Jack Hoxie) is a landowner who defies a gang headed by Bart Moseby (William Berke). Jack fences in his land claim with barbed wire, which angers Bart and his gang. Jack hides in his sweetheart's room to overhear Bart's plans to get him. Bart commits a crime and leaves Jack's hat and gun as evidence. At the trial, Jack's mother distracts the court while Jack leaps from the window to his horse. A fight between Jack and Bart follows as Jack brings Bart to justice. [2] [1]
