Synopsis
Red Barrett, a brutal cowhand, shoots at Star, a beautiful wild stallion, and wounds him in the thigh. Dick Hammond, who chances upon the horse, gives him water and cares for his wounds; Star, who has known no human kindness for years, becomes devoted to the gentle cowpoke. After a few weeks, Star's wound has healed, and Dick rides him proudly to the Miller ranch, where the newly-tamed stallion is greeted with wonder. Jim Bledso, Miller's foreman, who has been embezzling money from his boss, asks Miller for the hand of his daughter, Marion. Miller consents, but the willful girl, who is in love with Dick, turns him down. The following day, Miller receives notice that his bank account, which should have held $40,000, is overdrawn. He immediately suspects Bledso and is confiding his fears to Dick when Jim walks in and gets the drop on the men, tying them up. Star unties Dick's bonds, and Dick goes after Jim and the other cowhands, finding them in the act of dividing Miller's money. Dick and the cowhands fight, and he is about to be beaten when Miller arrives with the sheriff's men. Jim is arrested, Miller makes Dick the new foreman, and Dick makes Marion his wife.
