Bob Ward comes out West to seek vengeance on his father's murderer. Jumping off a freight train he becomes lost in the desert and drinks water out of a poison spring with near fatal consequences. He is rescued by none other that Sunset Carson who Bob believes murdered his father.
Keeping his name a secret, Ward is nursed to health by Sunset's sister Joan. He becomes enemies with Sunset's partner and foreman Sam Webster. Seeing Sam mistreat a horse, the two begin brawling. Sunset decides to give the men a chance to have a fight, but the brawl will become a boxing match with the proceeds to go to erect the area's first schoolhouse. However Sam has a scheme to obtain the money himself and get rid of Sunset and Bob Ward simultaneously.
