Neal Lawton, the foreman of the Circle W Ranch in Texas, is visited by the owner, Henry Arthur, and his daughter, Evelyn. At the ranch, in the guise of a servant, is a Mexican called Pedro, who is the leader of a band of Mexican outlaws. He sees a chance to gain money by kidnapping Arthur and his daughter. He informs his band. Some days later, Neal and the cowboys go to the round-up, leaving Evelyn and her father at the camp. During their absence Pedro gives the signal to his gang. Meanwhile. Neal has fallen in love with the girl, but she refuses to listen to him. She realizes he could not give her any of the things to which she has been used. Neal is despondent. The outlaws take Evelyn and Arthur prisoners, and carry them to the Mexican camp. Neal and the boys return and find traces of the raid. They start on the trail and soon arrive in the Mexican camp, where Neal knocks the sentry on the head, and, exchanging clothes with him, sneaks into the camp alone. As he passes one of the huts, he hears a scream and, recognizing the girl’s voice, enters and saves her from Pedro. He then hurries away with the two prisoners. Pedro rushes from the hut, calling his followers, but the cowboys begin to shoot, hitting him and causing the band to run for cover. Neal, Evelyn and Arthur ride away on their horses and the two visitors are soon on the train going east. The next morning at Lone Dog, Evelyn disappears from the train, and word is sent to Neal. He promptly sends the boys out in all directions to search for her, and starts across the country in the direction of the station where she was last seen. Later, he finds her on the desert and she tells him about leaving the train and buying a horse upon which she started back to the ranch. The horse ran away and she had been forced to struggle on as best she could. Neal is puzzled as to her reason for returning and she says, “I was coming back to you. Isn’t it a woman’s privilege to change her mind?”
