Harry gives Denton a letter of introduction to his father, who is a ranch owner in the west. Denton, seeing the photograph of Harry's sister, Helen, falls in love with it. Denton arrives in the west and meets a miner in hard luck, Al Martin. Denton buys Martin's horse and in doing so shows considerable money. Martin resolves to get it. Later on he holds Denton up, takes him to his cabin, where he and his Indian companion rob Denton of his money, the letter of introduction to Harry Warner's father and also the photograph of Helen Warner, which Denton had brought west with him. Martin decides to impersonate Denton. Leaving the Indian to guard Denton in his (Martin's) cabin, Martin calls at the Warner ranch and is cordially received by Warner and his daughter. In fact, it is a case of "love at first sight" between Martin and Helen. Denton, while being detained in Martin's cabin, is treated nicely. One day the Indian, who is Denton's guard, gets drunk and falls in a stupor in the cabin. Denton then manages to escape, but wanders around and finally gets lost in the desert. In the meantime Martin, whose love affair with Helen has been progressing very smoothly, arrives at his own cabin, only to find the Indian in a drunken stupor and Denton gone. Martin, who really likes Denton, fearing Denton may have taken the wrong trail and been lost in the desert, tries to find him there. Taking a bottle of water along, he searches for some time in the desert and finally finds Denton, almost unconscious from a terrible struggle in the desert from thirst. Martin, who has denied himself water while searching for Denton, is in pretty bad shape himself. He gives Denton the water, puts him on his horse and finally brings him out of the desert and back to the cabin. Martin then confesses to Denton what he has done, after which, though hardly able to drag himself along, he struggles over to the Warner ranch and tells Helen all about his deception. She forgives him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
