Sancho presumes to love the ranch boss's daughter, Alice. He is fiercely jealous of her accepted lover, Jack, foreman of the ranch, and upbraids her for accepting Jack's attentions. Jack gives him an irrefutable argument with his fist and later in the day discharges the troublesome Greaser. Jack, on his way from town with the monthly payroll, is held up by the Greaser and a friend, who relieve him of the money and leave him tied helplessly to the back of his horse. Alice, who has been watching through a telescope, sees this and gives the alarm. A thrilling rescue follows. Sancho is pursued and shot, rolling from his horse down a precipice to his death in the river. Wedding bells are inevitable.
