Synopsis by Janiss Garza
When New England schoolmarm Faith Miller (Anita King) comes West to inspect a mine she has bought, she discovers it is a fake. But she finds a savior in the rough cow town in which she has landed -- Jim Ralston (Wallace Reid). With the help of the deputy sheriff, he "salts" the mine to trick the crooked promoter into buying it back from Faith. But there is more trouble afoot -- the sheriff is murdered by two outlaws and Jim is accused of the crime. Jim is set to be hung when the real killer admits to the dirty deed. The posse rounds up all the bad guys including arch villain Henry Slade (Tully Marshall) and all is well with Faith and Jim. This was one of Wallace Reid's lesser programmers.
