Ruthless cattle baron Saul Chadron ( Alfred Allen ) is irritated by homesteaders who are intruding on his domain and hires outlaws to drive them away. The leader of the homesteaders, Alan MacDonald ( Monroe Salisbury ) learns that vicious Mark Thorne ( Sam De Grasse ) has been hired to kill him. Alan has a deep affection for Frances Landcrafe ( Helen Jerome Eddy ) a visitor at the Charon range, and despite the danger, he attends a masquerade held in her honor. Meanwhile, Thorne claims he has killed Alan and demands payment from Chadron, and when the cattle baron refuses, the outlaw kidnaps Chadron's daughter Nola ( Betty Schade ). Alan rescues her, but Chadron is plagued by new trouble when the townspeople, angered over the murder of a child, decide to hang him. Alan intervenes, but Thorne, just before his own murder, shoots Chadron. Alan is then free to turn his attention to Frances and his land claim.
