Andy Walker, a gold prospector in Hell's Gap, Arizona, time and again gambles away the money he needs to bring his daughter Madge to live with him. Lone Hand Wilson, a solitary fellow who shuns the company of women, helps Andy win the thousand dollars he needs, but soon afterwards Andy is murdered. The orphaned Madge finally arrives in Hell's Gap and falls in love with Wilson, who helps to defend her interests. Wilson is charged with Andy's murder, however, and only clears himself after considerable effort. He and Madge then are reconciled.
