While on the round-up, Broncho's rival one night steals his sweetheart's picture from his watch. He then returns to the girl with a note saying that Broncho has fallen in love with another girl and is returning her photograph. He signs Broncho's name. Believing Broncho's love dead, she marries the forger some time later. As the years go by he becomes more cruel, and finally she breaks down from abuse and hunger. One day while in the act of whipping her, some cowboys happen along and when they go to the rescue, he flees to the nearest town, giving himself up to the sheriff, who happens to be Broncho. Broncho recognizes him, but protects him from a horrible death at the hands of the angry cowboys.
