Mesquite Mike and his pals shoot and wound young rancher George Hewitt, who has ridden in to get the doctor for his wife Lucy, who had been the much-sought-after beauty of the county before her marriage. Mesquite Mike was desperately in love with her then. Now, pursued by Sheriff Claude Britton, Lucy's uncle, and a posse, the outlaw makes for the Hewitt ranch. There he finds Dorothy, George and Lucy's 8-year-old daughter, who leads him to where her mother lies ill. The bandits believe that she has Mexican fever. They leave, terror-stricken, imploring Mesquite to go with them. He lingers, however, for he believes that if he can get the sick woman to the mission, the monks may be able to save her life. Fastening an Indian drag to his horse, he places Lucy upon it. Then, setting the girl upon the horse's back, he leads the way across the desert. On the second day, the water gives out and the horse drops dead. Mesquite hitches himself to the drag, and at night, exhausted, reaches the mission. There it is discovered that Lucy is victim of a disease closely resembling Mexican fever, but not nearly so contagious nor so dangerous. Soon she is on the road to recovery. Hewitt, informed by a Spanish peddler, who has seen the "bad man" at the mission, arrives with the doctor and the sheriff. They rush in to seize and lynch the outlaw. But Hewitt is called aside by Lucy, who whispers to him how his enemy had saved her life. Hewitt tells the sheriff that he has mistaken the man who shot him, that Mesquite Mike is innocent.
