Synopsis
Jim Slater, a Texas Ranger, learns that German propaganda is being distributed across the Mexican border and traces the anti-American materials to Carl Werner, the editor of the Silver City News and secretly a German spy. Posing as a reporter for the News , Jim falls in love with Carl's daughter Belle, who, although opposed to her father's activities, informs him that Jim works for the U.S. government. Carl then assigns Jim the job of interviewing "Red" Haggerty, a criminal who bears Carl a bitter grudge. Red learns that Jim is the son he left in the East years before and consequently refrains from harming him, whereupon Carl, realizing that he is beaten, poisons himself. Accused of Carl's murder, Red gives himself up to Jim upon discovering that there is a large reward for his capture. Jim arrives at the jail too late to save Red from the vigilance committee, but Red's letter reveals their relationship and asks Jim to send his wife the reward. All danger removed, Jim and Belle are united.
