action
Conny Daybright grew up as the foster son of the wealthy rancher Arthur Strobie in Colorado. He is very grateful that Arthur raised him like his own son. That's why he runs the local cattle farm and takes care of Arthur's biological son, the useless Jo, as well as possible. However, he only sees Conny as an annoying competitor who threatens his legacy and would like to get him out of the way.
Although Jo is married to the pretty Jenny, he made the young Lilly Fasken pregnant. Apart from him, the young mother and Conny, nobody knows who the child's father is. Shortly after the birth, Conny gives the woman 500 dollars from Jo. Her two brothers Jim and Dick then suspect him of seducing their sister and seek revenge.
Meanwhile, the good-for-nothing Jo lies to his wife Jenny that Conny is the father of Lilly's child. But Jenny quickly realizes the truth and then wants to separate from her husband. Again Conny stands up for Jo and persuades Jenny to stay on the ranch for the time being so as not to disappoint her father-in-law. But Jo is an ungrateful good-for-nothing and instigates Lilly's brothers to murder Conny. The two want to lure him into an ambush when the cattle are raised. There is a shootout in which Conny is injured in the arm and the brothers are killed. Conny pursues the fleeing Jo and can put him in a river. When Jo pulls out the revolver, Conny shoots him. He confesses to Arthur, who reproaches himself. At the end of the film, Conny says that he will explain the death of her husband to Jenny.
