As described in a film magazine review,[2] Fred Saunders is a young ranch foreman who is in love with June Hardy, a school teacher. She is also courted by ranch owner Con Carney. The school teacher is in search of her lost brother Buddy who, unknown to her, is in an orphanage. Both men determine to recover her brother and thereby win her favor. One resorts to unscrupulous methods to gain his end and is defeated by the other, who wins the affections of the young woman.
