Synopsis

En route to Central America, Tom Standish makes futile advances toward Alicia, who is detained by seaport customs officials for smuggling guns to revolutionaries. Jerry, on his way to capture Morloff, the revolutionary leader, encounters Tom and Alicia, now friends, and great rivalry springs up between the two men. At Del Rio, Alicia meets Dolores, also working for Morloff, and they plan to detain Jerry until Morloff arrives. At Dolores' apartment, Jerry is overpowered and thrown into jail, where he is held for ransom. By a ruse, Jerry and Tom escape and rescue Rosita and her duenna from the villains. But both fall in love with Rosita, who returns Tom's affections, while her father thinks she loves Jerry. When the bandits attack the hacienda, Jerry goes for aid and appoints Tom in charge, but he returns with the disarmed Morloff, who is killed by his own men in an escape attempt. Jerry gives Tom and Rosita his blessings and sets out in search of another war.
