Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] shortly after Chick Richards' father, who is the local sheriff, is killed, the youth enters an Eastern college. An ace of spades was on the arm of the murderer of his father. A feud breaks out between cattle ranchers and sheep farmers. A card of the ace of spades is found as a warning to one of the men. Black Morgan's gang is repulsed when the other cowboys are championed by a masked rider clothed in white. Chick returns from college, dressed in white flannels and wearing a cane. His sweetheart Alice and others become disgusted with Chick, because he appears to have no interest in solving the mystery of his father's death. Alice is then attacked by Black Morgan. The rider in white appears, throws off his outer robe to fight Morgan, and everyone sees that it is Chick. Morgan is whipped and he and his gang are put in jail. Chick becomes sheriff and later marries Alice.
