Synopsis

Arizona range rider Lon Gilchrist helps stagecoach passengers fight off attacking Apaches. After rescuing a baby and binding her bleeding forehead with his handkerchief, Lon receives a reward that allows him to buy a ranch. Many years later, the rescued child, Lizzie Mayberry, is a waitress in a cheap restaurant, where she meets Lon, who, now wealthy, courts and marries her. Because he is so busy, Lon has his friend Del Beasley look after her. After a misunderstanding, Lizzie has Del take her to the railway station. Thinking that they left together, Lon pursues them, but upon seeing his reflection in a creek, he realizes he is too old for Lizzie and decides to let them go. Del returns and convinces Lon that there was nothing between him and Lizzie; then when Lizzie sends Lon a photograph of her newborn baby some time later, he goes to her. Holding the baby, Lon tells of the Apache incident. When Lizzie takes out his bloodied handkerchief, their reconciliation is complete.
