Their romance is cut short, though, when the sheriff notifies his daughter that she is needed at home. While on his way to visit Betty, Bob sees a man shot and killed, and capturing his runaway horses, Bob takes them to town. Meanwhile, the real killers, Deputy Sheriff Joe Rollins and his gang, decide to frame Bob for the crime, and upon his arrival he is thrown into jail. Rollins plots to lynch Bob but is forestalled by a dance hall girl. Betty, apprised of Rollins' plot, helps Bob to escape. Later, Rollins kidnaps Betty, and while Bob fights to rescue his sweetheart, the crooked deputy is killed by a stray bullet from one of his gang.
