Morgan hires "The Rattler" to evict the Sandersons from their ranch, but when he meets Helen Sanderson and discovers the injustice of Morgan's demands, he refuses to carry out his orders. Helen, suspecting Morgan of shady dealing, follows Bud, who has escaped from jail, to a desperadoes' hangout. The Rattler holds up the gang and forcibly carries Bud off to jail, where he will be safe. Misunderstanding The Rattler's motives, Helen sells the ranch to Morgan, who delivers false money to Helen. The Rattler pursues, and both are caught in a train wreck. Morgan, mortally injured, clears Bud, and The Rattler, though wounded, is urged to recovery by Helen's love.
