action

John is wrongly suspected by Sheriff Jake of stealing $ 4,000 in wages for miners from a hotel safe. When the sheriff tries to arrest him, they both have to help Betty Mason, whose father was shot dead in a robbery shortly before. While pursuing the perpetrators, the sheriff falls off his horse into an abyss. John helps the sheriff get back on his feet.

The unknown leader of the gang moves Betty, who is fleeing to the nearby town, to live in his house outside. There the young woman overhears a conversation, from which she understands who her host is. She also learns that this leader knows about a gold mine that is on the ranchers' territory. In order to take possession of the mine, the gang tries to evict both the ranchers and the residents of the nearby town by ambushing the ranchers and the food transports for the town. Betty is discovered eavesdropping and locked in a room. John and the sheriff free them and discover the spoils from the robberies on the food transports and hand them over to the townspeople. In the final scene, John and Betty tell the sheriff that they want to get married.

The sheriff expresses his suspicions about John, whereupon the latter proves his innocence and introduces Betty as a Marshal from Sacramento.
