The sheriff stops a moment to see his sweetheart Beth. Hardly has he left her when the outlaw appears at the cabin and advances admiringly toward her, but she wards him off at revolver-point; in the ensuing struggle, the revolver goes off. The sheriff hears the shot and rides back and is struck down senseless by Manuel. After disarming the senseless sheriff, the Mexican is about to stab him, when Beth snatches up her revolver from the floor and drives the Mexican from the cabin. He swears vengeance upon the sheriff and his sweetheart. The sheriff regains his senses; weak and wounded, he takes the trail after Manuel. He comes upon him in an old mine's deserted powder shack. He is surprised and overcome by the Mexican and left bound. A stub of candle is left burning on an open can of blasting powder. The Mexican returns to the girl's cabin and forces his way in. Meanwhile, the sheriff has struggled to his feet and realizing Beth's danger, he lifts the burning candle from the powder can with his teeth and burns through the bonds which bold his wrists and rides back to his sweetheart's house. Just as the Mexican has broken in the door, the sheriff bursts through a window, covers him with his gun, while the girl snaps a pair of handcuffs upon his wrists.
