The girl returns his affection and dismisses Wheeler, the foreman, who theretofore had been a suitor. Wheeler and Harris have some words, ending in a fist fight in which the cowboy is beaten. He nurses his grievances, fearing to harm Harris, and finally decides on a plan to get rid of his rival without having suspicion pointed toward himself. With a couple of rough characters he holds up Harris and carries him to the edge of the quicksand. Pointing a gun at him he forces Harris to run, and he sinks into the treacherous sand and is unable to extricate himself. He is discovered by the girls, but having no rope they are unable to rescue him. A wild race against time and death is undertaken by Ethel who secures help at the ranch. Harris is lassoed as he has sunk to his neck, and with difficulty pulled out. Wheeler tries to make his escape, but the cowboys pursue and capture him.
