As described in a film magazine review,[3] raiders are burning the property of cattle ranchers. Dane Gordon, posing as an ex-convict, joins the gang and falls in love with Goldie Fleming, stenographer of Bat Jackson, the brains of the outfit. Dane leads a posse against the outlaws. A plot to blow up Dane and his men fails. The outlaws are rounded up. Bat is shot dead while Dane is stalking him. Dane finds Goldie is largely responsible for their success. She admits she loves Dane.
