Plot



As described in a film magazine, Ben Johnson (Gibson), a despised sheepherder, works for an old Mexican, but is unhappy because he loves cattle and wants to be a cowboy. Riding to town one day, he sees a Rena (Nixon) and asks for a drink which she refuses to give him because she is a cattlemans daughter with cattle owners prejudices. The next day several men go looking for this young woman from her fathers ranch. They visit Bens employer while Ben is away. When Ben returns, his boss gives him a beautiful golden mare, hat, and other necessities to bedeck him for real riding. Then he tells Ben to visit the very young woman who had slighted him the prior day, and take her to her father. As Ben arrives, a neighboring bad man is wooing her over-strenuously. Ben knocks him out, and drives him off. Rena agrees to go with Ben. The next morning, camping near a stream, Ben is shot at, but gets his attacker, the bad man. Being pursued, they separate and she is found by the first two who originally wanted her. Ben joins up with Buck Brent (Campeau), a bad man who hates the young womans father, Jim Newhall (French), because he had once sent him to jail. Ben follows the trail and arrives at Brents place, defying death at every turn. They accept him after putting him to a rigorous test. On a cattle raid to get Newhalls steers, Ben falls and is captured. Once before Newhall, he communicates some interesting information. Immediately, Newhall organizes a raid. Ben rescues Rena and Brent is shot.
