In front of a saloon and a private graveyard two cowboys are on the verge of a fight when Kate looms up in the doorway. The men immediately separate. In No Man’s county everyone holds Kate in awe. In one instance, she takes drastic measures to stop a brawl in her saloon, and, as a result, another grave is added to the others in her private graveyard. On another occasion she demonstrates her marksmanship by hitting a reflection in a mirror. One day, however, she meets Bill, a man of iron will, who proves his caliber on his arrival by starting a little gun play after blowing smoke in the faces of a few strangers. As Bill goes to the saloon, he passes the graveyard and the epitaphs on the tombstones set him thinking. At the saloon he introduces himself and treats to drinks. When he refuses to pay. Kate starts a scrap in which Bill is victorious. In another encounter Bill is again the victor. Kate finally becomes submissive and marries Bill, who is very domineering and is in the act of scolding her when his wife wakes him with the aid of a rolling pin and Bill appeals for mercy.
