Pedro, the bootlegger, sells his whiskey to a band of Indians and they go on a drunken rampage, first tying and gagging Pedro. Tom Wilson has just bid goodbye to his sweetheart, Nellie Smith, who, with her father, are starting on a long trip overland. He runs into the Mexican, who advises him that the Indians are on the warpath. He gathers a posse of cowboys and starts after the Indians. The Indians overtake Smith's wagon and Smith is bound to the burning wagon. Nellie is tied to a horse and led away. Tom rescues Smith and they continue after Nellie's captors. A running fight ensues, in which the Indiana are killed, and finally Tom rescues the nigh-dead girl. Smith decides that Tom has earned his right to Nellie's hand and gives her to him.
