A band of horse thieves ride off with horses belonging to Hoffman. Similar raids have almost ruined the rancher. Tom vows to bring the criminals to justice. He later wins the gratitude of Wahtunka, an Indian maid, when he rescues her from the unwelcome attentions of Halon, a desperado. Determined to possess the girl, Halon buys Wahtunka from her father. Tall Elk, Wahtunka's lover, is filled with rage. While the white man is conversing with the tribe, the Indian waylays a member of Halon's band and drags him from his horse. Realizing that the animal will instinctively make its way to the rendezvous of the band, Tall Elk mounts the horse and rides away. The Indian arrives at the den of Halon's band. Shortly afterward, the leader and Wahtunka enter the cabin. Tall Elk captures him by a clever ruse. At that moment, Tom, who has trailed Halon because of a suspicion that the man is implicated in the stealing of Hoffman's horses, enters the cabin. Believing Tall Elk a member of the band, Tom is about to shoot him when Wahtunka explains the situation. The three thereupon plan to capture the rest of the band. When the members of the gang enter the rendezvous shortly afterward, they find themselves trapped. Tom discovers the stolen horses close by. The thieves are handcuffed and taken to jail. Hoffman, overjoyed at the capture of the criminals, allows the new sheriff to marry Helen.
