Jim Carter, sheriff of Red Rock, and his partner, Dad Ward, are in a tight place because they did their duty and caught certain gentlemen with other people's cattle. True to their lifelong friendship, each risks his life that the other will be protected. The result is that the cattle rustlers are brought to justice. In a little town a few miles north, Clay Center, Mike Martin gets into a fight with another man in a saloon brawl and kills him. Rushing to his cabin he forces his wife to load their belongings on a wagon and together they escape. They make a camp near Red Rock and Martin promptly starts for town to get more booze and gamble. Jim and Dad passing the camp find the woman there alone and after hearing her story of how her husband drinks and forgets to come home, promise to send him to her. The next day is Dad's birthday and Jim has ordered a present from the city that is due to arrive late that night. He arranges with the general storekeeper to leave it where he can get it easily. That same night Martin goes to the store and robs the safe. Dad, disturbed by Jim going out, follows and mistakes Martin for him. Thinking that Jim has robbed the store in order to raise money to save their mine he determines to make a sacrifice to save him. He leaves his handkerchief on the safe and returns to the cabin. The next morning the robbery is discovered and Jim starts out in search of Dad. He brings him back, but in the meantime the sheriff of Clay Centre has caught Martin, and so everything is satisfactorily straightened out. Written by Universal Weekly, August 4, 1923
