Plot

As described in a review in a film magazine,^[3] Bill Bradley (Acord) appears as a chap who lives along on a little ranch. During a forest fire he saves a young woman and her small brother and sister. Mail bandits have robbed a train hide in the hills, and finally venture forth and make Bill a prisoner. He escapes and sends his dog to the sheriff. The bandits capture the woman and take her to their lair. Bill pursues and fights them, and the sheriff appears and takes them into custody.
