Pablo, the son of a Mexican mother and an American father, hates his grandfather, Don Fernando, for disowning his mother. As the supervisor of a railroad construction gang, he is injured in an attack by bandits and brought to the ranch of his grandfather. Following his recovery, Pablo plans to leave, though he has fallen in love with Manuelita. Then, a clash develops between Pablo and Juan, who has designs on becoming the family heir. Finally, touched by Don Fernando's remorse at his treatment of his daughter, Pablo is reconciled to him and finds happiness with the girl.
