Synopsis

Ex-cowpuncher Dan Kurrie, assigned to replace an aging station agent in the small Western town of Condor, refuses the job upon discovering that he is to supplant Pop Young, the father of his old sweetheart Margaret. When Pop assures Dan that he has been promised another position as manager of Joseph Garber's general store, Dan assumes his duties as station agent. Garber, who has designs on Margaret, is perturbed at Dan's renewed attentions to the girl and so manages to have his rival fired. The former cowpuncher then takes a job on Pete Beckett's ranch, causing Margaret to believe that Dan is attracted to Beckett's daughter. After Margaret agrees to marry Garber, Dan tries to forget his loss by riding the range. There he is involved in a shootout with a Mexican who informs him of a train holdup. Dan rushes to the rescue and captures the gang. Garber is then unmasked as the leader, and Margaret, a passenger on the train, realizes that Dan is really an honorable man.
