May Moore, the cattle baron's daughter, is engaged to her father's foreman, Jack Towns. As the Moore cowboys are about to start on the work of rounding up the vast herds, a man, giving his name as Jim, applies for and secures a job as puncher. He is a spy in the employ of a neighboring band of daring cattle rustlers. That night, when the camp is sleeping, Jim steals out and signals the rustlers to start their work at once. They descend upon the herd, overpower the watchman, and stampede the cattle towards the fastness of the nearby mountains. Jim, the spy, decides to carry off Moore's daughter May as his own special prize. He tells May that her father has been injured and that he has been sent to take her to him. May believes the spy's story and rides behind him on his horse. Through an accident May learns of the man's treachery and, with her screams, awakens the sleeping camp. The chase that follows is long and thrilling but finally the desperadoes are captured and the cattle found. Punishment is meted out to the rustlers, and Jack and May are reunited.
