- This story centers about Frank Mager, the ranchmen's candidate for sheriff, who promises, if elected, to rid the county of the notorious band of cattle thieves. Frank is elected and starts out to look for the rustlers. His first move is to notify the stock growers of a meeting to be held at the schoolhouse, and he proceeds to tack up notices. Riding over the mountains he meets Amanata, a Mexican girl, who is the sweetheart of Buck Peters, foreman of the Y-6 Ranch, and also captain of the "Cattle R." Her horse becomes lame and he befriends her. Peters is roping horses in the corral and receives a note from the rustlers informing him that they are holding cattle ready to cross the border where he thinks it is safe. We see the cattle bedded down at the rustlers' camp when the messenger rides in with a note informing them to meet the captain at Amanata's cabin the next night. They meet and succeed in delivering the cattle to the Mexicans. Flushed with success the rustlers meet Peters at the cabin and decide to get another bunch of cattle. They send word to the Mexicans to meet them. The Mexicans come to the cabin and call on Peters and his band of rustlers, and discuss the situation. Amanata is told by Peters to go out as he has business to talk over with his men. Amanata leaves the cabin but listens at the door and hears the plot against the sheriff. The sheriff goes to the schoolhouse just as Peters tries to kiss the schoolteacher. Peters is knocked down by the sheriff and the deputy sheriff orders Peters away. Amanata writes a note to the new sheriff and tells him to look out for himself as the rustlers say that they will get him. The sheriff and schoolteacher go to the post office. Peters finds out that Amanata has betrayed him to the sheriff. They quarrel and Amanata is badly hurt. Peters goes off and leaves her, but she manages to stagger to the schoolhouse and notifies the schoolteacher that the rustlers are after the sheriff. As she is telling her story the sheriff's horse comes in without a rider and they then know that the sheriff has been captured by the rustlers. Amanata leads the ranchmen and cowboys to the rustlers' camp, where a fight takes place between the cowboys and rustlers. The rustlers are defeated and the sheriff is saved. Peters is captured.
