Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] a young ranch owner on whose land is a fortune of which he is unaware, falls in love with his fair neighbor when she arrives to take charge of the property left her by an uncle. She secretly returns the man’s love, but is in doubt of him because he seems reckless and has many enemies. For a near killing the rancher’s cook is set on by a mob but is rescued by his employer.

In the end, their difficulties dissolve and the course of their love becomes smooth.
