Dave Mathews, the foreman at Helen McMaster's ranch, travels east to discover James Warner, the son of an old friend, in the act of stealing money from his father's safe to pay gambling debts. Dave offers to take the boy west in the hope of improving his character. When suspected cattle rustler Buck Conners abducts Helen, James overcomes his cowardice and rides to her rescue. James also saves Dave from Buck's gang, resulting in their capture. Dave and Helen marry, and James becomes the new ranch foreman.
