Synopsis
Steve Barton, loafing around the ranch while reading a letter from "Gold Dust," is berated for his inactivity by "Uncle." Steve reveals his concern for Dust, who has been like a father to him. Dust needs $1,000 to invest in his mine, but Steve is refused any more money by Uncle unless he takes over Uncle's money-losing Circle ranch. Steve accepts the challenge of making the ranch profitable, and discovers that men from the nearby Circle B ranch are stealing cattle by simply adding a B inside the Circle brand. Escaping the rustlers, Steve hides at Dust's cabin and gains his cooperation. At the town saloon, Steve confronts the ranch hands of the Circle B, and engages in a fight with one of them, Rod. Later Steve catches Rod trailing him, and ties him up inside Dust's cabin. As Steve spies the rustlers, Peggy, a girl from the Circle B, see him and thinks that he is one of the gang. As if to confirm this, Steve threatens her friend Tom, the ranch hand. Tom goes to Zed to warn him, for which he receives a bullet in the back. Steve explains to Dust his belief that one of the Circle ranch hands is helping the rustlers of the Circle B, and captures another of the gang during a shoot-out at the saloon. The sheriff chases Steve back to Dust's cabin, and is about to arrest him for firing the bullet that paralyzed Tom. Steve proclaims his innocence by identifying himself and explaining his mission to the sheriff, who then makes Steve his deputy. Tom manages to indicate that it was Zed, not Steve, who shot him, and Steve captures Zed and his confederate as they are stealing the cattle. Soon Uncle gives Steve the ranch and he can now provide Dust with the $1,000. Steve and Peggy, now fond of each other, decide to unite their herds, and Dust tears down the fence between the two ranches.
