As described in a film magazine review,[3] Texas Ranger Tom Hardy is assigned to find an Indian chief who has been kidnapped by Duke Granby and his gang, who seek valuable oil lands. Jack Reeves, brother of Marion with whom Tom is in love, becomes mixed up with Granby. During a fight a man is killed and Jack is made to believe that he killed the man. Tom finds the chief, forces Granby to confess to the murder, and rescues Marion from a torrent caused when one of Granby's men dynamites a dam.
