Fred, the only son of Amsden, desiring to procure some property owned by Nelson, writes him a note of truce, which old man Nelson promptly returns torn to bits. Fred has a far more bitter disappointment in store when Dorothy Lewis refuses his love and accepts that of Andy Nelson, a braggart and imbiber. Next day, Dorothy scrambling around the rocks near Amsden's estate, sees her lover approaching. Spying her, Andy goes to her and she sees to her indignation that he is intoxicated. She repulses him, but he persistently endeavors to embrace her, until, with raging spirit, she pushes him over the rocky incline. Fred Amsden, on his way home from the fields, hears her screams. She tells him frantically she has killed Andy Nelson. Desiring to shield the girl he loves, Fred drags the lifeless form toward some nearby bushes and is seen by the youngest Nelson boy, Tom. So while Fred is overtaking Dorothy and half carrying her to his house, Tom is racing home with the terrible news. Grabbing their guns, the Nelsons make for their enemy's home. Fred and Dorothy seeing their approach, repel their attack. One against six appearing hopeless, Dorothy escapes from the rear and runs for help. In the meantime Fred is holding off the enemy with an occasional shot. Andy, having recovered by this time, staggers to his feet and up the path. Dorothy running along at full speed, runs fully into him and at first thinks it is a specter. She then realizes that she is not a murderess. Fred, in the meantime, having used up all his ammunition, is captured by the Nelsons and dragged out and then taken to the place of the supposed murder, to be shot for his crime. Arriving at the spot, Dorothy explains all and they learn the truth. The Nelsons are so overjoyed at the recovery of their son that they hold forth the hand of friendship to Fred and depart, taking Andy with them. Then Dorothy turns gratefully to her real hero.
