The girl is treated more like a slave than an adopted daughter and, worse yet, her parents favor the suit of a Mexican, who is the sometime partner of their crimes. The girl detests him and when he seeks to urge his suit as she is on her way to town she struggles desperately to avoid his caresses, but is saved only by the arrival on the scene of Gordon Harvey, a young ranchman, who puts the Mexican to flight. Harvey is on his way to town and he takes Laura with him and brings her again to the inn. On their return they are overlooked by the Mexican who disables the wagon and forces Harvey to stop at the roadhouse for repairs. It is plotted that he shall be murdered and robbed, but Laura overhears the conversation and warns her benefactor, urging him to flee. Harvey is not disposed to run away, but when he finds that his revolver has been put out of commission he determines to escape and carry the girl with him. They arc pursued and caught, but in the altercation that follows the foster father and his accomplice fall over the cliff, while Harvey takes the girl to his ranch, where she is welcomed by his mother, and it is evident that her troubles are over.
