Whilst searching through the mountains they are suddenly attacked by the thieves, who have been hiding in ambush. They open fire and the rancher falls from his horse, a wounded man. His assistant, fearing the worst, retreats and rides home for aid. Arriving at the ranch he tells the rancher's daughters what has happened. Taught by their father from their earliest childhood to protect themselves in case of danger from roving bad men, they are expert markswomen, and so, arming themselves with pistols, they rush to the rescue of their injured father. By skillful riding and careful reconnoitering they surprise and capture the band and release their father, who was about to be tortured. The neighboring ranchers, hearing of the capture, turn out to congratulate the girls on their bravery and success, thanking them in the name of the community for ridding the country of so great a pest.
