Synopsis

Nevada, a fugitive from justice, is left by his companion, Bill Hall, to die on the range and is rescued by Ben Ide, a young rancher. Ina Blaine, daughter of a neighboring rancher, discovers that she loves Nevada instead of Ben, but Nevada's loyalty to his friend causes him to send her away. Ina falls into the clutches of Bill Hall, now a rustler king associated with Les Setter, who poses as an honest cattleman. Nevada learns of the girl's plight and invades the rustler stronghold; Setter kills Hall, and Nevada kills Setter, while Ina's father and Ben arrive with a posse of ranchers. Nevada takes refuge with Ina on a ledge, and Ben, believing him to be a rustler, shoots at him. Later, Nevada is cleared and is united with Ina.
