Bob Knight, foreman of the Five-Bar Ranch receives a letter one morning from his eastern cousin, Bob Lawlor, saying he will arrive next day for his vacation. Knight loves pretty Sue Jordan, a gay little coquette, and they are engaged. Next morning Lawlor arrives and Knight introduces him to Sue. She immediately is struck with his eastern clothes and manners and it is the same old story, a case of love at first sight between the two. A week later Knight saves Lawlor from losing his money in a cowboy crap game, but the easterner is led on by a couple of renegades, who get him to the town saloon and break him at faro. Discouraged, Lawlor is easily persuaded to join in rustling some cattle. Later the loss of the cattle is discovered and the cowboys find a photo that has fallen from Lawlor's pocket, and inscribed to "Bob." They go to Sue and question her. She shows her treachery by saving her new love, Lawlor, and sending the boys after Knight, whom she declares she gave the photo to, and inscribed it. Returning to the ranch a few hours after, Lawlor meets Sue and tells of losing the photo. She now tells him that she has shielded him by putting the blame of the rustling on Knight, and awaits his caress, but Lawlor furiously denounces her treachery, mounts, rides to the sheriff, confesses his guilt and the sheriff arrives in time to free Knight from the clutches of the cowboys. Realizing Sue's true nature, Knight seeks her out, tears the photo into shreds, casts them at her feet and strides away, leaving her with only the remnants of two shattered romances to weep over.
