It was an accident that brought Dolly and Fred together, but it was not an accident that caused Jose, half-breed, to lose his job. When he attempted to make love to Dolly, the ranchman promptly discharged him. Jose decided that walking papers were not to his liking. He stole Fred's horse. The ranchman, Fred and Dolly observed him, and calling in several ranch hands, they gave chase. Fred finally cornered Jose, but his gun becomes clogged. To escape from the greaser's bullets, Fred took refuge in a deserted mining shaft, hanging by a rope. Here Jose found him and cut the rope. But the earth gave way and Jose fell to the bottom of the shaft, where, after a struggle, he was overpowered by Fred. Dolly and the others hear Fred's calls for help. The two men are brought from the shaft and Fred and Dolly lived happy ever after.
