Synopsis
Cattlemen Lee Jamison and Ed Randall are the only ranchers in their territory who are not opposed to sheepherders sharing their grazing land, and they allow Angus McLeod to let his sheep graze where they may. Saloonkeeper Barney Ross takes a collection of $500 from each rancher who is opposed to the sheep ranchers and promises that he will keep the sheep out of their territory without bloodshed. While bank president Adams is out of town, Ross blackmails bank clerk Quigley into foreclosing on Jamison's ranch by using Adams' forged signature. Ross then purchases the ranch and forbids sheepmen to allow their herds on his land. Mary Parker, the daughter of rancher "Calamity," learns of Ross's treachery and sends for Adams, although she had previously broken her engagement with Jamison over the grazing feud. Jamison abducts Adams from the stagecoach after he learns of Ross's plans to kill the banker. When he returns to town, however, Jamison learns that Ross has told the townsfolk that he killed Adams. Jamison leaves, but returns to town with Adams and they discover Quigley's forgery. The bank is robbed by Ross's men, who knock out Jamison, and Ross kills Adams, then again pins the blame on Jamison. At a trial, Quigley confesses his guilt and implicates Ross in the scheme and Adams' murder. Jamison prevents Ross's escape and Ross is arrested. The cattlemen and sheepmen call a truce and Janet and Jamison are reunited.
