Synopsis
When Bud Sanderson is arrested for stealing cattle, Henry Morgan advances the money to defend him, in return for securing an option on the Sanderson ranch. Morgan hires "The Rattler" to evict the Sandersons from their ranch, but when he meets Helen Sanderson and discovers the injustice of Morgan's demands, he refuses to carry out his orders. Helen, suspecting Morgan of crooked dealing, follows Bud, who has escaped from jail, to a desperadoes' hangout. The Rattler holds up the gang and forcibly carries Bud off to jail, where he will be safe. Misunderstanding The Rattler's motives, Helen sells the ranch to Morgan, who delivers false money to Helen. The Rattler pursues, and both are caught in a train wreck. Morgan, mortally wounded, clears Bud, and The Rattler, though injured, is urged to recovery by Helen's love.
