Bruce Standing, known as The Timber Wolf, puts up a grubstake for Joe Terry, an old prospector in search of gold. Joe finds a rich lode, and Babe Deveril, a scoundrel who wants Joe's claim, has him jailed and beaten by the sheriff in an attempt to discover the mine's location. When Joe won't talk, Deveril orders his release from jail and forces Reenee Brooks to use her feminine wiles in another attempt to learn the mine's location. Bruce discovers this plot; after thrashing Deveril, he abducts Reenee and takes her to his cabin. Reenee gradually comes to love and respect Bruce, and he breaks up the Deveril gang.
