Tim Madigan, on the trail of his enemy, Bull Bagley, meets Jerry Norris and discovers that a gang is terrorizing her and her father by rustling their cattle, stopping their supplies and attempting to starve them to death. Tim goes to town on the Norris' behalf and learns that Hugo Distang and Bull are behind the plot. With the help of his new friend Jughandle, Tim questions the bartender Peewee, but before he can talk, Bull kills him. Tim, now driven by revenge for Peewee, as well as for himself, kills Bull and goes to Hugo's to look for the branding iron the gang is using to alter the Norris brand. Tim finds the iron, but Hugo catches him in the house. The two men are fighting when Jerry and Jug arrive with a posse. Hugo is arrested, Jug reveals that he is a representative of the Cattlemen's Association sent to investigate the rustling problem, and Tim proposes marriage to Jerry.
