Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Ted, the foreman of “The Diamond S. Ranch” is in love with Dora, Dad’s daughter. Tafe is the leader of a band of desperate characters that have been terrifying the neighborhood for some time. He sees Dora and immediately decides to try and make an impression upon her. Tafe and his friends apply for work at the ranch, but Ted doesn’t like their looks, and refuses to employ them. “Dad,” however, overrules Ted’s objections and sets them to work. Soon after this, Tafe insults Dora. Ted hears of it and after roughly handling their leader, he discharges the entire band. Tafe and his roughs steal a herd of unbroken range horses from the ranch, in an effort to wreak revenge upon the foreman. Ted apprehends the thieves and gives chase. During the pursuit the outlaws become hard pressed and are forced to drive the entire herd at breakneck speed over the plains and foothills. They are eventually captured, and pay the penalty for their misdeeds, while Ted is rewarded by the hand of Dora.
