Bob Ward comes out West to seek vengeance on his father's murderer. Jumping off a freight train he becomes lost in the desert and drinks water out of a poison spring with near fatal consequences. He is rescued by none other that Sunset Carson who Bob believes murdered his father.

Keeping his name a secret, Ward is nursed to health by Sunset's sister Joan. He becomes enemies with Sunset's partner and foreman Sam Webster. Seeing Sam mistreat a horse, the two begin brawling.
