Unfairly accused of murder, Helen Stratton flees with her brother, Buster, but is overtaken by her accuser, Bull Devine, and his henchmen, Red Murphy and Peter Marcus. Devine has the sheriff believing that his purpose is to bring Helen to justice, but his true intention is to force marriage upon her because she is an heiress. Jim Warren happens along at the right time to rescue Helen from Devine's clutches; she changes hands several times; and the sheriff finally learns what Helen has known all along Devine committed the murder for which the heroine has been sought.
