- Lieutenant Danny Ward, just out of West Point and ready for action when he is sent to the United States Mexico border. He falls in love with Ysobel Ventura, and then rescues her from Pedro Lopez and his gang. Looking for revenge, the bandits come after Danny, and when they catch him, they put him in front of a firing squad. After the apparent execution, the bandits start terrorizing Ysobel, but then Danny saves her once again, because the bullet that should have killed him lodged instead in a St. Christopher medal that Ysobel had given him. After routing the bandits, who believe that they are fighting a dead man, Danny brings Ysobel to his regiment's fort and marries her.—Pamela Short
- Lieutenant Danny Ward, trotting along at the head of a platoon of cavalry, patrolling the border, sees through his glasses a caleche being furiously driven toward the Rio Grande, with Mexicans in hot pursuit. As the caleche nears the border Danny and his men appear and the baffled Mexicans retire cursing. The occupants of the caleche are Senora Marie Ventura and her daughter, Senorita Ysobel Ventura. The Senora is a haughty aristocrat; her niece a far-famed beauty. They are fleeing from their hacienda to escape the vengeance of Pedro Lopez, "the butcher," a marauder who once had been a peon on the Senora's estate. Danny escorts the woman and girl to the army post and places them in the safe keeping of the Colonel. Then he promptly falls in love with Senorita Ysobel. One day the Senora's son, Don Marin Ventura, arrives at the post and assures his mother that Pedro and his bandits have withdrawn and that it will be safe to return to the hacienda just across the border. The Senora, her son and Senorita Ysobel start for home leaving Lieutenant Danny, disconsolate, behind. As the days go by, the call to Danny becomes stronger and one midnight he steps away from the post, crosses the border and joins Ysobel. He arrives at the hacienda just in time, for Lopez has returned and presently the house is in a state of siege. The defenders are hopelessly outnumbered and Pedro, athirst with lust and vengeance, prepares to pay off old grudges against the Senora and possess Ysobel. Early in the fighting Don Mario is killed and his mother is stricken with paralysis, leaving the severely wounded Danny and the courageous Ysobel to hold on until relief comes. When every desperate strategy seems to have failed and Ysobel seems doomed to fall a victim of "the butcher," a shot from Lieutenant Danny's pistol kills Pedro Lopez. Carrying Ysobel in his arms, Danny manages to reach the frontier and is hailed with delight by his old comrades. There is a wedding the post and Ysobel salutes the flag of her new country.—Moving Picture World synopsis
