Across the ranch comes a runaway horse pulling a buggy in which is seated old man Silver, a neighboring ranchman. Barbara spurs her horse forward and lassos the animal. As she helps Silver from his buggy a pouch falls, spilling some of its gold pieces. The money is seen by Jose, the vaquero and by Raghun, the Hindoo cook. An hour later Silver returns to the house to get his bag of gold. He does not reappear and upon investigating it is found that he has been murdered. Near the body is Jose's kerchief. Jose has ridden away and the punchers start in pursuit of him. Barbara finds the prints of sandals on the wet floor. Brent and Wallace search the Hindoo quarters and Barbara follows the footprints outside the window through which the murderer has entered. She finds Raghun rifling his shack. He locks her in, then departs. Breaking the window, Barbara follows him on horseback. Raghun shoots her and in falling she rolls over a cliff but only slightly wounded, finally overtakes him and returns to the ranch with her prisoner. She is just in time to save Jose's life whose confession showed that he had been sent on an errand by the Raghun who placed Jose's kerchief by the body of Silver.
