"Silent" Joe Dayton is a railroad engineer in the Canadian Northwest who bears an unfortunate resemblance to bandit Jacques Durand. Joe's problems begin when his sweetheart, Angel Lambert, sees Jacques with another woman, and assumes it is Joe being unfaithful. Later, Jacque robs the railroad payroll, resulting in both his and Joe's arrest. A broken spur found at the crime scene proves the bandit's guilt, and Joe is free to renew his romance with Angel.
