Jim Treen, a road agent, is engaged to Molly Stewart, who has no notion of his secret profession. When she discovers Jim's hidden treasure cache, she breaks their engagement. Though he pleads with her, promising to reform, Molly will not marry the bandit. Bill Carey, interested in Molly's savings, woos and wins her. The evening they are to be married, she entrusts to Carey her bank account, asking him to invest it for her. Carey beats it out of town on the night stage. Jim Treen is notified that Carey has left Molly in the lurch. The former road agent rides after the stage. Carey bribes the driver with a bonus of one hundred dollars to make the eastbound limited. Treen, however, by taking a perilous short cut over the mountains, stops Carey at the train, snatches away his gun, and compels him, at the point of his own weapon, to hand over Molly's money. Jim restores her savings to the woman he still loves, and Molly becomes his wife.
