Bessie is visiting her brother Frank’s ranch when he receives a message asking him to cooperate in driving the sheep-herders from the country. Frank gathers his cowboys and falls upon Al West, a herder. They mistreat the unfortunate man and leave him with a warning. Later Bessie discovers Al as she rides by. Pride prevents him from telling her the truth and he slates that he has been injured by a fall. A few days later Al and his brother sheepmen manage to settle their score with the cattlemen. Bessie’s visit comes to an end and she starts home, riding to the little station on horseback. She is overtaken by a furious forest fire and rescued by Al. When Frank learns of the sheep-herder’s bravery, he realizes that Al is not a bad fellow after all.
