Lon Gilchrist and Bud Dalton, range riders for a ranch in Arizona, are instrumental in aiding the occupants of a stagecoach which has been held up by Indians. Lon observes an Indian tear a baby from the arms of its mother, and giving chase to the redmen, he sees the infant cast into the underbrush. The infant is bleeding from a wound on the forehead caused by the stiff branches of the bush when Lon picks it up. He bandages the cut with his handkerchief and brings the baby to its mother. For helping to save the coach, Lon is rewarded with a large sum of money from the Wells Fargo Express Company, which is judiciously invested by him. Years later, Lon is a wealthy ranch owner, but has become so imbued with the spirit of business that he pays practically no attention to the more pleasant sides of life.
