Synopsis

The Girl, owner of the Polka Saloon, falls in love with Ramerrez, whom she later discovers to be a bandit. When a snowstorm forces Ramerrez to stay the night with The Girl, jealousy drives dancer Nina Micheltorena to reveal his identity and whereabouts to Sheriff Jack Rance, who also loves The Girl. She denies Ramerrez's presence, the bandit is shot when he tries to escape, and she once again shelters him. This time, drops of blood prove The Girl wrong, but she wins Ramerrez's and her own freedom in a poker game with the sheriff. Stirred by Nina, vigilantes are about to lynch Ramerrez when the sheriff interferes, explains his bargain, and restores him to The Girl.
