==Plot==
Former Texas Ranger Lassiter (William Farnum) leaves Texas and travels to Arizona sage country pursuing a group of Mormons who abducted his married sister. He arrives at the Withersteen ranch near the Utah border, where his sister was last seen. He meets the Withersteens and their beautiful daughter, Jane (Mary Mersch). Lassiter rescues her rider, Venters (William Scott), from torture at the hands of a villain named Tull (Murdock MacQuarrie). Soon, Lassiter falls in love with Jane, but when she learns about his mission, she is reluctant to help him, fearing more violence will come to the region. Her feelings for him change, however, when she sees the hardened gunfighter befriend her ward, a young orphan girl named Fay Larkin (Nancy Caswell).
While Venters is out searching for the rustlers who have been raiding the Withersteens' ranch and stealing their cattle, he wounds and captures the rustlers' masked leader, who turns out to be a beautiful young woman (Katherine Adams). Rather than turning her over to the law, Venters brings her to a secluded valley, where the two fall in love.
Meanwhile, Lassiter learns that his sister is dead, and that the man who abducted her, Dyer (Marc Robbins), is also responsible for much of the trouble faced by Jane and her family. Lassiter tracks the villain and raids a Mormon meeting, killing Dyer. The angry Mormons then pursue Lassiter, Jane, and Fay to the secluded valley where they meet Venters and the repentant cattle thief, whom Lassiter recognizes as his dead sister's daughter, Millie. Venters and the girl escape the Mormons, but Lassiter, in rolling a huge boulder down on his pursuers, blocks the only exit to the valley, trapping himself, Jane, and Fay inside the valley forever.〔
