Tom Meyers and his partner have a little claim near a little western town. When Tom goes to town for supplies, he falls in with Slim Padgett, a bad man, who wagers that he can outride Tom. Tom races Slim and the contest is viewed by Betty Thompson, a ranch girl. Slim angered at being defeated, follows Tom to his mine, and discovers that Tom has found pay dirt. With another desperado, Slim overcomes Tom, gets the mine papers and starts for town. Betty Thompson sees the theft and starts to head Slim off. Betty beats Slim to the office and registers the mining claim, and as Slim approaches, he is arrested by the sheriff. When Tom finds what Betty has done for him, he asks her if she won't be his life partner, and she consents.
