Miguel, a Mexican "hand," is a little better than the average of ranch hands, although to Miriam and her father he is only a "greaser." Miriam, however, is kind to him on occasions and he dares to dream of her. Miriam never knows of it, however, although her father catches him kissing a rose she has dropped and kicks him for his presumption. One day comes a young man, Clifton, to the ranch, returning from a hunting trip through the nearby hills. He is hurt nearby, and being found by Miriam, is cared for at the ranch. On his recovery, he is loath to go, having fallen in love with Miriam, much to the jealousy of Miguel, who plans revenge on his successful rival. During a trip to town, Clifton gets into trouble and kills a man quite accidentally and flees. Miguel has been a witness to the affair and delights in the lynching party's pursuit of Clifton. However, he witnesses the meeting between the girl and her sweetheart, and determines to save him for her. He trades clothes with Clifton and allows the posse to see him. Pursuing the fleeing Miguel, they call on him to halt. Miguel, disobeying, is shot for Clifton and Clifton is saved to the girl who loves him. The girl and Clifton, on seeing Miguel brought back dead, realize the sacrifice he has made for both of them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
