[edit]

Blake (E. Alyn Warren) commits suicide after Smoke (George O'Brien) wins the Blake ranch in a poker game, and Smoke transfers the ranch to Blake's little daughter (Betsy King Ross). The Sheriff (Morgan Wallace), on the other hand, is after the ranch and has Smoke arrested for the murder of Blake, before bringing in a fake relative to appear as the girl's relative.
