Jim Andrews, foreman of the ranch, loves Mary, and one morning calls to put the engagement ring on her finger. While they are talking, Dave calls his sister off to one side and begs some money from her. She gives him what little she has, and watches him depart with a doubtful shake of her head. Dave is not getting along well. An hour later Dave sits in a poker game with the cowboys and is caught cheating. The boys drag him before Jim, declaring they will not work on the same ranch with a cheat and demand his discharge. This Jim does, although he realizes what a blow it will be to Mary, However, Dave now goes to Mary and tells her Jim discharged him because expenses were to be cut down. Consequently when Jim calls Mary angrily rebukes him and Jim, realizing she must now know the truth, is forced to lake back his ring and depart in silence. Dave now meets with a renegade Mexican and enters into a cattle-rustling scheme. They are detected, captured and are about to be strung up, when Jim gets the boys to agree to send them across the county line. Dave is duly thankful, writes a note to Mary telling of Jim's great kindness and promises to come back a better man. Jim takes the note to Mary and it is only a matter of a few moments until the engagement ring is back again on her finger and she is clasped in his loving embrace.
