Dan Calvert, an outlaw, comes with his plunder to the shack of old man Medford, who has a lovely daughter named Jessie. Calvert, in his plunder, finds money and a letter addressed to Hibbard Sharpe, who is on the outlaw's trail. Medford consents to the outlaw's marriage to his daughter in return for a sum of money. The outlaw gets the minister and Sharpe, the sheriff, follows them. While the minister marries the outlaw and Jessie, the sheriff, who has climbed the shack roof, falls through and is taken prisoner. Calvert and his followers take the sheriff into the mountains to dispose of him, and Jessie and a guard are left to watch the camp. As the outlaws ride along a ridge, the sheriff jumps bound from his horse, rolls downhill and escapes. Jessie has managed to escape and encounters the sheriff. There is a gun battle in which the sheriff kills the outlaw's chief, and routs the others. Medford is remorseful and starts out to find Jessie. He meets her with the sheriff and begs her forgiveness. Reconciliation follows and Jessie and the sheriff plight their troth.
