Marjorie Wayne, the new school-teacher, comes to town and boards at the same ranch where Broncho Billy is foreman. Broncho Billy falls in love with her winsome ways and proposes to her. She tells him she does not love him, but expresses a wish that they be good friends. Her sweetheart from the city comes to the ranch and she marries him, much to the chagrin of Broncho Billy. Not long after the wedding, Steve gets into bad company and is persuaded to join in stealing some horses. He is captured by a posse, who are about to make short work of him, when Broncho Billy, through his love for Marjorie, holds up the posse and allows him to escape.
