Juan has a beautiful daughter, named Carita. She is not in sympathy with her father's lawless pursuits. One day she is sent to receive money from one of the band, who is waiting at the crossroads. On the way through town, coming back, she takes a small amount of money and purchases a shawl. Wearing it back to the old outlaw and his followers, she gives him the money. His watchful eye notes the new finery and he flies into a rage. Dragging the girl from her horse he cruelly whips her. Meanwhile Ray Roberts, the new sheriff, arrives with his mother. Suffering agonies, Carita manages to drag herself along the road. The new sheriff's mother happens to be riding by. She alights, lifts the girl into her carriage and brings her home. The young sheriff is struck by the girl's fresh beauty and is filled with sympathy for her suffering. Under their kind care she soon recovers, and the friendship between her and Roberts ripens into love. Her father receives her with a cruel beating, and she is then made virtually a prisoner. The next day she overhears a plot between old Juan and Antonio, one of his followers, who is madly in love with her, to do away with the sheriff. They send Roberts a letter purporting to come from Carita, asking that he meet her at 12 o'clock that day. The sheriff receives the note and rides over to meet her. Carita manages to steal one of the horses and reach the sheriff's house. His mother tells her where he has gone. The plucky little Mexican girl dashes off. Meanwhile Roberts walks into the trap, hut scents something wrong just in time to make a dash for an old stone barricade, behind which he takes refuge. A hot pistol battle takes place. They succeed in wounding him and ride off, leaving him for dead. Shortly after Carita comes upon her lover. She lifts him into the saddle and rides back with him to his mother's house. A doctor is summoned. Carita steals away. Discovering her absence, Roberts sends the doctor after her. Entering the room she runs with a cry of delight into her lover's arms.
