As described in a film magazine,[3] discontented cow puncher Gene Stewart (Farnum) makes a bet that he will marry the next woman who comes to town.

Majesty Hammond (Kingston), the sister of a successful ranch owner, arrives that night and Gene in a drunken revel threatens old Padre Marcos (Swickard) with death unless he marries them.

He completely cows the young woman into submission and, when he finds out who she is, he sheepishly takes her to the house of her brother's fiancé, and then leaves after apologizing for frightening her.

He has advised Bonita (Boardman) to take refuge in the crags when she is about to be accused of the murder of a man who fought for her.

When the desperado Don Carlos attacks the ranch, Gene saves Majesty from the Mexicans.
