At his office he finds a letter from a man in the west asking if someone connected with the firm could go west to investigate his gold mine. Sax and his partner laugh at this, as they are in the habit of getting letters of this sort. Later in the morning Sax's chum calls and insists that Sax act as best man at his wedding. In vain Sax hunts for an excuse, but after his friend goes, he gets the idea that there might be something in that western gold mine. He tells his partner that he will be gone a month. Bellman has read of a woman bandit in the vicinity where Sax intends to go, and warns the latter to be careful. Sax arrives, and, being thirsty, he goes into the saloon. Tom, engaged to Barlow's daughter, is standing at the bar and notices the size of the roll with which Sax pays for his drink. Sax secures a horse and starts for the Barlow ranch. In a lonely part of the trail a woman holds Sax up and takes all his valuables away, among them being a ring. Tom tells June that they must be married the next day. Then he slips the ring that he took from Sax, on her finger. Sax reaches the Barlow place. After he has told June and her father about the hold-up, the latter suggests that they visit the mine. That evening Sax sees his ring on June's finger, and demands to know where she got it. June realizes that if she tells the truth she will betray Tom, but before she has time to reply Sax accuses her of being the female bandit. Sax asks Barlow if he will lend him the money to get back to town. Barlow orders a horse for Sax. June, in the meantime, has gone into the house, written a note, left the back way with a gun concealed in her skirt and given the note addressed to Tom, to one of the punchers. Sax bids Barlow good-by. As he passes the place where the hold-up occurred he again is held up by a female bandit. This time she makes him dismount and, covering him with a gun, tells him that he must stay there all night. In town Tom receives the note. He is playing cards and is forced to deal another hand before he can escape. One of the men present discovers that he is cheating and also finds the note and reads it aloud. They realize that Tom is the female bandit and he is arrested. June released Sax, but he has not gone far before he finds that be cannot go on without her, so he turns back and takes her in his arms.
