The film centers on a ranch hand named Tommy Dawes and a young girl called Rosemary, who is disabled and the daughter of his boss, Bill Nyall. One day, Tommy accidentally breaks Rosemary’s favorite doll. He borrows a $20 gold coin to replace it, but on his way into town, he’s attacked and robbed by an escaped prisoner, named Knapp Wyant.
