Plot edit

As described in a film magazine,[3] Larrabie Keller comes into cow country as a homesteader and is immediately attacked by the cattlemen who accuse him of being a rustler. The insults of Bill Healy cause Keller to give him a severe drubbing after Keller’s refusal to fight Phil Sanderson, whose sister Phyllis has struck his fancy. Later Phyllis finds Keller beside a branding fire which he is investigating and believes him guilty of rustling. Healy fires and wounds Keller. Phyllis, unknown to Healy, takes Keller to Yeager, another homesteader, who dresses Keller’s wounds. Phil and Healy follow them to Yeager’s, but are mislead by Phyllis, who finds a strange attraction in the suspected rustler. After she leaves, Yeager accuses Keller, who is forced to take Yeager into his confidence and prove to him that he is really a Texas Ranger. When he goes back to town, Keller is arrested. The real rustlers try to place all the blame on Keller, but Phyllis frees him from the jail by a ruse. With the rustlers planning a final round-up that night, Keller rides to the scene while the rustlers lead a posse after him. When they catch him, Keller and Healy engage in a fierce fight on a cliff which ends in Healy’s plunge to his death. Phil, the brother of Phyllis, helps Keller round up the rustlers and is forgiven, while Phyllis finds her faith in Keller vindicated.
