Jack Rutledge, her sweetheart, proposes - for the hundredth time - to the new sheriff, but is again refused. To be near her, even in jail, he shoots up the town, but without success, for Tempest finds he has used blank cartridges. Jack plans with the driver to frame-up a fake stagecoach hold-up, but is beaten to it by the real bandit. Captured by the posse, Jack is jailed and is about to be lynched by the irate mob when Tempest aids him to escape. Tempest mistakes the real road agent for Jack; but, seeing her error, captures him. Jack meanwhile has been caught by the mob and is about to be strung up, when Tempest arrives with the real culprit, turns him over to the posse and promises to wed Jack - to keep him out of further trouble.
