In the Old West, two abandoned children, siblings Johnny and Felice, search for help in a desert. Cattle rancher Terry Moran rescues Felice along with a gold piece engraved with her name. Moran raises Felice to adulthood. Fifteen years later, Felice has fallen in love with Tim, one of Moran's cowhands. Tim's sidekick, Chito Rafferty, interrupts a picnic between Tim and Felice to report an attempted cattle theft. Tim and Chito find two men, Jack and Andy, whom Chito identifies as the thieves. The thieves apologize claiming they are hungry and need money. Tim gives them some money, but Chito remains suspicious. At the local bank, Tim and Chito pick up $30,000 in cash for Moran as payment for cattle Moran sold. The banker, Elias Norton, plans to steal the money. He hires Jack and Andy (whom he also hired to steal the cattle) to ambush Tim and Chito. The ambush is unsuccessful and the two henchmen go back to a saloon in town, after reporting their failure to Norton.
