The cattlemen of this country resent the appearance of homesteaders, and send them a note ordering them at once to leave the country. A similar note is sent to Fred Merrill and his parents, also homesteaders. Fred and Bessie are lovers. Burnham, the Cattle King, seeks the hand of Bessie. He tells her that her father's safety will be assured if she will consent to marry him. Bessie refuses, and draws a pistol on Burnham. John Graham's health fails, due to worry over the trouble with the cattlemen, who have decided to force him from the country. The cattlemen raid the Graham home. The shock kills John Graham. Next, the cattlemen raid the Merrill home. Fred kills one of the bandits. He then dashes to see if Bessie is safe. He finds Burnham forcibly embracing Bessie. Fred, at the point of his gun, drives Burnham away. Bessie, disguised as a cattleman, learns of their plans to attack the Merrill homestead. Burnham recognizes her and employs three Mexicans to kidnap the girl. Bessie is taken over the border to a Mexican's hut, where Burnham attempts to force her to marry him. Fred discovers Bessie's whereabouts and persuades the cattlemen to aid him in a rescue. They swoop down on the Mexican's hut. Burnham is taken by surprise, but cleverly feigns innocence. A piercing shriek from an adjoining room, however, belies his words. Bessie is rescued by Merrill, while Burnham is roughly handled by his erstwhile friends.
