Synopsis

Peace River Parker, foreman of the Cross L Ranch and engaged to Jess, the daughter of the owner, is railroaded into a prison term by the false witness of Jefferson Crane, who covets the ranch and Jess. Through the complicity of Clell Danert, a villainous foreman who also desires Jess, Crane arranges to ruin the Marshall ranch by driving a herd of sheep onto the cattle range. Peace, released on good behavior, learns of the plot from Danert, who takes him for a hobo and hires him to herd the sheep. Peace informs Jess, who rides to protect her father's ranch but is captured by Crane's men; Crane proposes marriage; but Jess gains the upper hand and forces him to confess to the crime for which Peace was convicted. Jess and the Marshall ranchmen arrive in time to save Peace from a lynching and clear his name.
