Massey and Jack Wilson, a mining engineer, are suitors for the hand of Gladys Vane, daughter of Kingman Vane. Massey is assisted in his plotting by Ricardo, a Mexican, and his scheming has succeeded to a point where Vane's income has been seriously affected. Gladys loves Jack, but when he asks her to marry him she is forced to put him off because she knows her father would object. One day a telegram comes from Vane's mine in Mexico, saying that the Mexicans have forced the superintendent to flee for his life. Vane is nonplussed until Gladys suggests that Jack take charge of the mine. This Jack consents to do, and Massey is pleased, because he now sees an opportunity to rid himself of his rival. At Zuracca, Ricardo arranges to have Jack lured into a new tunnel where a charge of dynamite is about to be exploded. The plot is foiled and one of the perpetrators confesses, who is the instigator. When Bob learns of the Mexican's confession he wires his father, suggesting he come to Zuracca. Massey insists on accompanying Vane and Gladys and writes Ricardo to hold up the train, capture Vane, Gladys and himself and hold them for a big ransom, which would be the mine. The Mexican, whose child Jack saved, reveals this plot to Jack. The telegraph wires being down. Jack starts to ride to Caspro, on the American side, to summon the rurales to prevent the kidnapping. He is pursued by the Ricardo gang and his horse is shot from under him. He escapes to where Mexican laborers are operating a steam shovel. He throws the pursuers off his track by jumping into the steam shovel bucket as it bites into the embankment alongside him. One of the mounted Mexican chases him. He jumps up back of the Mexican, hurls him to the ground and rides like the wind for the rurales. Jack notifies the rurales. They get trace of the Mexicans and a running battle ensues. Massey is wounded as is Ricardo, and the latter with his dying breath brands Massey as the one who is behind the trouble. At last the mystery of the trouble is solved.
