Synopsis

John Crandall, who is homesteading a western tract with the aid of his daughter, Mary, his son, Nick, and Isabella, an orphan girl, is opposed by Julia Hart, a cattle owner, over the water rights of the ranch. Mary catches Julia's men running brands on their cattle and after a chase is rescued by Dick Stanton, a border patrol aviator, who agrees to help her. Joe Calvert shoots Nick in an attempted raid and sabotages her airplane wheel, but Dick repairs it in the air; together they get the doctor for Nick. When Crandall discovers that his "first entry" papers have been stolen, Dick goes to the Hart ranch to investigate. Crandall is forced to sign a quit-claim deed, and Dick arrives just as Calvert abducts Mary in a plane; Slim and Dick follow, and Calvert falls to his death in a fight. Julia relinquishes the deed, and all ends happily.
