Synopsis

Steve Hopper is planning to track down the rustlers who have been stealing the Wilson's cattle, when their neighbor, Mr. Grant, offers to buy the Wilson ranch. Steve and Jimmy Wilson discover the rustlers' hideout but, following a shootout with the outlaws, Mr. Wilson is killed. At first, Grant consoles Wilson's daughter Betty, but he then informs her that he holds a binder on her father's property. When the sheriff arrives to investigate Wilson's death, he finds Steve's gun and arrests him for murder. Steve escapes from jail with Jimmy's help and rides to the rustlers' hideout where he overhears an argument in which Grant reveals that he framed Steve. Grant tries to force Betty to sign over the ranch, holding her and Jimmy captive, but the boy escapes and goes to Steve for help. After a violent struggle, the sheriff arrests Grant, and Steve frees Betty, who learns that there is oil on the ranch lands and that her future is secure.
