Synopsis

Dick Dawson decides against going into business with his father and goes west to become a forest ranger. He is thought to be a mollycoddle until he levels Slim Dixon, a whisky runner disguised as a ranger. Dixon seeks revenge and informs the leader of the gang, Red Hobbs, of Dick's potential danger. Dick meets Red's daughter, Ann, who is prohibited from seeing Dick again. When she is caught signaling him from the mountain peak, her father binds her hands and feet and places her in a mine. Dick rushes to save her but is first confronted with Hobbs; a fist fight ensues, and Hobbs rolls into the river and drowns. Dick reaches Ann just as Dixon is about to carry her off on horseback; undaunted, Dick disposes of Dixon and proposes marriage to Ann.
