Alighting at a small town he discovers a bank robbery has occurred there the night before and a large reward is offered for the capture of the bandits. Steve joins in the hunt for the bandits who are hiding in the mountains. Their retreat discovered, the desperadoes escape to another place, leaving the stolen money in the guardianship of Bess, a beautiful mountain girl. O'Grady meets with an accident and is found unconscious by Bess, who takes him to her cabin and cares for him. O'Grady's heart is touched by the friendless position of the girl, who has fallen in love with him, and he offers to take her away from the place. She then tells him of the money. They are about to depart when the leader of the bandits returns. O'Grady hides in a closet. The girl's quick wit enables her to capture the leader. The rest of his gang return and there is a spirited fight between O'Grady, Bess and the robbers. The bandits are defeated, Steve and Bess turn the leader over to the authorities with the stolen money, and receive the reward. He sends the "scoop" to his home paper and is offered reinstatement upon the editor's staff by return wire. With a delighted whoop, he clasps Bess in his arms, tells her of his love and asks her to become his wife, while the telegraph operator discreetly turns his back.
