Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Bill Davis, also known as Buffalo Bill, Jr., saves a young Indian woman from an attack by Jim Slade. Lost in the desert, Bill's horse dies of thirst. Nita Randall, whose father runs a nearby mine, arrives just in time to prevent Bill from suffering a similar fate. Slade plots to gain control of the Randall mine. One of the conspirators is shot by Randall, who dies from an injury but believes that he has killed his enemy. Bill takes the blame, but Nita, concerned by the loss of her father, is temporarily influenced against him. Her eyes are opened when Bill beats up Slade. Bill and Nita are united in matrimony.
