The bandit leader is lying wounded in his cabin on the mountain when his confederates bring in a girl whom they have kidnapped while she was on her way to join her father after a trip east. The two ruffians leave her in the cabin room next to the one occupied by the bandit leader. When he gets up for a drink, she hears him and pushes in to see what is making the noise. She finds him exhausted on the bed and she goes and gets the water for him. Her kindness wins his heart and his plight rouses her pity. She gives him a Bible to read and he determines to set her free. As the two steal out toward freedom, they are discovered by the rest of the band. But the bandit chief holds them with his gun and the girl escapes.
