Bart Andrews (Fred Thomson) is a drifting cowboy who is arrested for vagrancy by a sheriff (James A. Marcus) in need of men for the state rad gang.

At the urging of some cowboys, the sheriff allows Bart to go to work on the Lawrence ranch. Bart falls in love with Jean Dawson (Clara Horton), the daughter of ranch manager Jim Dawson (John Lince).

Bart prevents the theft of the trainload of cattle, and later surprises the foreman in the act of robbing the safe at the express office.
