Mowbray, the foreman of Brent's ranch, is also in love with Dulcie, but she does not care for him. Jim asks Brent for his daughter's hand. Brent likes Jim very much but is exceedingly jealous of his daughter, so he tells Jim that he can marry Dnlcie when his herd of cattle matches Dulcie's, head for head. He hopes in this way to put Jim off and discourage him. The young people are forced to accept this mandate. Later, however, Dulcie sees how she can hurry matters somewhat and begins to put her plan in operation. Her cattle outnumber Jim's three to one. Her brand is the well known V.C. She realizes how easy it would be to change this brand into the "Diamond Eight," which is Jim's brand. She rides out to her herd, ropes and ties one of the steers and is in the act of changing the brand when Jim rides in and sees what she is doing. Dulcie rides away, leaving Jim bending over the prostrate steer. Brent and Mowbray ride on and see Jim in the act of releasing the steer. They notice the changed brand and at once jump to the conclusion that Jim is a brand-blotter. Things go hard with Jim until Dulcie confesses and Jim is cleared. Brent now realizes how dearly the young people love each other and gives his consent to their union. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
