Plot: While on his deathbed, rancher Larry Harlan begs his partner Quinton "Squint" Taylor to locate and protect his daughter Marion. Squint journeys to Kansas City, searching for Marion, but fails to find her. On the train trip home, Squint overhears two men plotting to appropriate Squint and Harlan's land and correctly surmises that the young woman seated with them is Marion. When Squint thwarts an attempted robbery during the trip, he meets Marion and wins her respect. Upon arriving home, Squint learns that he has been elected sheriff, but his election is invalidated when William Carrington, one of the conspirators from the train, bribes a judge. Carrington then tries to ensnare Marion, who flees to Squint for protection. In revenge, Carrington frames Squint for his partner's death by bribing a Mexican to testify against him. Carrington then attempts to kidnap Marion, but Squint rescues her and kills his rival. After the Mexican confesses to perjury, Squint carries out his promise to his partner by marrying Marion.
