Plot

Doc Griffin (Donald Kirke) and his two henchmen rob a bank and quickly hide the loot before they are apprehended. The handsome owner of the horse ranch Nora Lane (Judith Barrie) loses all her money because of this. The police have Lane's employee Tom Marley (Tom Mix) infiltrate the prison with the robbers, hoping the thieves will tell Marley where the loot is hidden. When the trio manages to escape from prison, Marley has to hide his cover longer. His undercover action works too well, however, and both Lane and the police think he has actually joined the criminals. Marley then steals horses from Lane's ranch, and she is kidnapped by Griffin who takes her to the woods to find the loot. When he accidentally starts a forest fire, Griffin shoots his henchmen to keep the money for himself. Lane, meanwhile, escapes and runs off with Marley's horse Tony Jr. Marley herself fights through the burning forest, knocks Griffin down and takes the money to a safe place. He frees 'Spike' Weber (Raymond Hatton) after the other robber 'Big Ben' Cooper (Eddie Gribbon) dies. The story ends well: Marley proposes to Lane and returns the loot to the bank.
