In the far West there lived two families between whom there existed a feud of many years’ duration. John Fully in a drunken brawl, had killed one of the Hewhy family, and from that time on no opportunity was lost until many relatives of both families were shot to death, and the only ones surviving of the Hewhy family are old Hank, his son Karl, and his daughter Lucy. Now it happened that Luke Fully becomes violently enamored of pretty Lucy Hewhv, and these two secretly plight their troth. They are discovered by Karl Hewhy. Lucy’s brother, who upbraids her for her disloyalty to her own kith and kin, and determines to kill Luke at the first opportunity. He haunts the paths of the mountain forests and finally discovers John Fully and Luke, who have just set out on a hunt. He follows them stealthily, takes aim, fires, drops his foe to the ground and flees. Arriving home, he relates to his father the story of his dastardly work, in the presence of his sister, who calls them cowards, whereupon her father drives her into the house. She watches her opportunity to make her way to the Fully home, and arrives just as Luke is being carried into the house. Old Fully is much distressed over his son’s condition. Lucy pleads to be allowed to remain there and care for him, and for the first time old Fully learns of the great love existing between his son and Lucy. Horror-stricken, the old man rushes from the house, swearing that he will wreak vengeance on those who attempted his boy’s life. Luke, knowing his father means what he says, sends Lucy with a letter, in which he begs him to spare the lives of Lucy’s father and brother. The old man reads the letter, relents, and returns home. Months have passed. Lucy and Luke are happily married, when one day her father, who has been driven from home by his dissolute son, arrives at the home of Hank Hewhy and begs for shelter. Hank at first refuses, but through the pleading of Lucy, whom he has learned to love as a daughter, grasps his old enemy by the hand and thus ends forever the old-time feud.
