As described in a film magazine, [3] Cole Lawson Jr. inherits a spread with alfalfa when his father is murdered. Cole finds a letter left by his father who had been secretly informed that his murder was about to take place, and which discloses that his son should get McQuade, an ex-convict who is tough and stops at nothing. Cole then poses as a horse thief and tolls up to McQuade's stronghold. To complicate things, there he falls in love with Dorothy, who is set to be married to McQuade.
