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.
