Dick departs for his night's vigil, and the other cowboys gather in the mess for supper. Pete comes in and persuades young Dan, a reckless fellow, to steal the horses. Toy, the Chinese cook, spills some coffee on one of the boys, who pulls his gun, and fires at the Celestial's feet, and in a fright he rushes to the barn where Pete and Dan are formulating their plans. He is discovered and the rustlers tie him to a tree. Dick does not notice the approach of the men until it is too late, and when he tries to draw his gun, is shot in the arm, while the rustlers drive his herd away. The next day, Kate finds the Chinaman, who explains the situation. Colonel Hardy orders the cowboys to go after the rustlers. Kate goes also. In the meantime Dick, being faint and weak, loses consciousness. He is discovered and they leave Kate with Dick, Pete and Dan, still encamped from the night before, are forced to leave, attempt to escape, are captured and given their just deserts. Kate succeeds in getting Dick home, and while convalescing, his betrothal to Kate is announced. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
