Ruth Spear, a flapper, educated in the East, is left the owner of the ranch at her father's death. Montana (Josie Sedgwick) is the ranch boss and forbids Ruth to see Mel Bromwell, a scoundrel who is after the ranch and incidentally, Ruth. Montana's sweetheart, Dave, is shot in an effort to capture a gang of rustlers of which Bromwell is the leader and later Ruth is lured away to Bromwell's camp in the hills, ostensibly to be married. However, Montana pursues her, true to form, and of course, rescues the gal and gives the villain his just deserts, with the help of the sheriff who rides up just in time.
