Synopsis
"Big Boy" Morgan, a "real westerner" like his father, has lost a controlling interest in his ranch to Holdbrook, who has come under the influence of a gang of gamblers and smugglers led by Zobester. They wish to take over the property for illicit purposes. Nora O'Shea, fresh from Ireland, shows up at the Morgan ranch looking for her brother, Larry, who has been lured into becoming a member of the gang. Morgan keeps the truth from her, but she eventually learns it from Holdbrook and goes to her brother. The gang kidnaps her, but Morgan, with the aid of the U. S. Cavalry, comes to her rescue. The gang is broken up, Holdbrook gives Nora his share in the ranch, Nora and Morgan marry, and Larry is put on probation.
