As described in a film magazine review, [2] Tom Gallagher, cowboy, wanders into a saloon and gets into a fight, as a result of which he is chased by a sheriff’s posse.

However, he is released and goes to work on the Bar M ranch owned by Dorothy Manning. Dorothy’s ranch hands are mismanaging things and her foreman, Black Carter, and another man are rustling her cattle. She makes Tom her foreman. The others resent this, especially Black Carter, who is in love with Dorothy and has told her that things will go better if she responds to his advances.

Tom goes away to try to get money to clear the mortgage that Perkins holds on the ranch, and while he is gone Black Carter and Thug kidnap Dorothy. Then Tom is captured and tied up.
