Jealous ranch foreman Sam Stover shoots though a window into the house of Sylvia Dodge at his rival, Jack Burroughs, missing him and wounding her. Found with the unconscious victim, Jack is accused. He eludes capture and barely escapes a lynching by the foreman and his posse. Jack is exonerated when the foreman's hat is found in the rain barrel outside the window and he and Sylvia are reunited.
