When Flint proves his mettle against her best hands, Felizia decides to hold him to marry her granddaughter and take over the ranch. The foreman and granddaughter with the aid of the maid help Flint escape with Felizia as a hostage. A slip made by Felizia tells Flint she is having the foreman Alex murdered to make room for Flint. Taking Felizia with him, Flint tries to save Alex. Fate intervenes to help Flint and causes reality to settle in with Felizia. At the end she reveals to Flint the truth about what the ranch cost her.
