Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] a young ranch owner on whose land is a fortune of which he is unaware, falls in love with his fair neighbor when she arrives to take charge of the property left her by an uncle. She secretly returns the man’s love, but is in doubt of him because he seems reckless and has many enemies. For a near killing the rancher’s cook is set on by a mob but is rescued by his employer. This incident gives rise to a series of desperate events in which the hero and the heroine several times narrowly escape death. In the end, their difficulties dissolve and the course of their love becomes smooth.
