They seem to be the work of one lone bandit who has terrorized the neighborhood. Sid Burton, a Chicago detective, is sent to the far west to help the local sheriff capture the bandit. Upon his arrival in the west the detective is met by the sheriff, who takes him to his home. There he meets Edna, the daughter of the sheriff. Mutual affection springs up between the pair at first sight. Not long after the detective's arrival the express company is robbed again by the lone bandit. The detective finds the empty strong box which has been stolen from the express office and evolves a plan which, with the aid of the express agent, he carries out immediately. That day the sheriff is notified that the box stolen from the express company had a false bottom in it and that there were several bills of large denomination which undoubtedly escaped the robber's notice, and that the express company would give a handsome reward for the recovery of the box. The plan works only too well. That night the detective, lying in wait for the bandit, surprises him, but he receives a greater surprise and shock himself, for the lone robber is none other than the sheriff and the father of the girl he loved. In endeavoring to make his escape the sheriff falls from his horse and is mortally injured. Before dying he reveals to his future son-in-law the hiding place of the money and jewels he has stolen, and tells him to make reparation as far as possible. The sheriff explains that the lone game he played was for his daughter's sake. The detective returns to the express company the old box of money. The detective decides to remain in the west and receives the appointment of sheriff as successor to the unfortunate man who played the lone game and lost.
