As described in a film magazine review, Bob Evans, a Texas Ranger, falls in love with school teacher Stella Bolling. She aids Jim Kemp, a wounded stranger, who reveals himself to be her long-lost brother, who had broken out of jail. Buddy Clark, an orphan also cared for by Stella, rescues another wounded man, and learns from him that he is really Stella's brother, and that Stella is being imposed on by the other stranger. Stella has gone with the stranger. Bob pursues them and saves Stella from an attack by the stranger at a burning cabin, who meets his just deserts. Buddy also saves a dog from the burning cabin.
