As described in a film magazine review,[3] shortly after Chick Richards' father, who is the local sheriff, is killed, the youth enters an Eastern college. An ace of spades was on the arm of the murderer of the father. A feud breaks out between cattle ranchers and sheep farmers. A card of the ace of spades is found as a warning to one of the men. Black Morgan's gang is repulsed when the other cowboys are championed by a masked rider clothed in white. Chick returns from college, dressed in white flannels and wearing a cane. His sweetheart Alice and others become disgusted with Chick appears to have no interest in solving the mystery of his father's death. Then Alice is attacked by Black Morgan.
