Torn between his love for the girl and his devotion to duty, Jack decides the latter is too strong to resist. He pursues the bandits and gives chase when they rob the town bank. Through clever maneuvering he is able to capture the gang, but Anita's father is slain. Anita, finding that her father was unworthy and that Jack was faithful to his duty, forgives him and becomes his wife.
