Plot
As described in a film magazine, Whistling Dan (Mix), the adopted son of rancher Joe Cumberland (Barrows), has been raised since childhood with the latter aware of his instinct to fight like an animal and kill that which harms him. Joe has forbidden Dan from frequenting Morgan's Place, a gathering ground of local renegades and desperadoes. Joe then purchases the place with the intent to close it, and on the last day of its activity Dan encounters Jim Silent (Siegmann), an insulting cowboy. When he is left behind following an unfair fight to perish in the building after his enemy has set fire to it, Dan is rescued by his dog and horse. Starting off in pursuit of Jim, Dan is followed by Kate (Starke), his foster sister and sweetheart. Dan comes to doubt Kate after a pair of misrepresenting circumstances. After she falls into traps set by villainous followers of Jim, she escapes with the help of Dan's dog and a member of Jim's gang who has an obligation to Dan for his freedom from arrest. She effects Dan's rescue and restores his faith in her.
