Juliet, the simple shepherdess, and Tony, the herder on the ranch of a wealthy Cattle King, are enamored with each other. Often they meet at the trysting place, under a giant tree on the edge of a cliff. Juliet is accidentally shot and is removed to the home of the Cattle King, where she recovers. Tempted by promises of presents and other wealth, she finally marries him. Two years pass, and Tony observes the ranchman riding through the woods. A fight ensues and results in a victory for Tony who, after tying the ranchman to the tree at the trysting place, sends for Juliet, and, before the eyes of the husband, throws her and himself over the cliff into eternity.
