Captain Wynnegate leaves England, accepting the blame for embezzling charity funds though knowing that his cousin Sir Henry is guilty. He takes up ranching in the West and falls for the Indian maiden Nat-U-Rich. He and the Indian girl save each other from the evil cattle rustler Cash Hawkins and marry. Lady Diana shows up to announce that Sir Henry died on a fall while mountain climbing, and a note exonerating Jim is found in his body. Although the family wants Jim to return as the new Earl of Kerhill, he declines, but allows them to take his son back to the advantages of an aristocratic life. Nat-U-Rich, distraught over the impending loss of her son and pursued by the sheriff in the death of Cash Hawkins, tragically takes her own life.
