One night when he returns home at 2 a.m. from a night of carousing at a dance hall, The Boy's strait-laced father sends him packing to his uncle's ranch in a small western community called Piute Pass.

She and her father are seeking work from the villainous Tiger Lip Tompkins who owns half the town and terrorizes its people.

The Boy frees The Girl's father and is hotly pursued by a large posse of Tompkins' white-hood clad hirelings who intend to run him out of the state.

Using a number of evasive ploys, The Boy eludes the posse and escapes with The Girl.

The film ends with The Boy drawing an engagement ring on The Girl's finger to signify his romantic intentions.
