Richard Dunbar gets into a fight with a crooked gambler and hits his opponent so hard that the latter falls, apparently dead. Dunbar takes flight and eventually drifts into a lumber camp in Oregon, where he falls in love with Betty Allison and arouses the wrath of one of Betty's suitors, the foreman of the camp. The foreman challenges Dunbar to a fight, but Dunbar remembers the consequences of his last fight and, instead of hitting back at the foreman, leaves the camp in disgrace. Dunbar later learns that the man he thought he had killed is still alive, and he returns to the lumber camp just in time to rescue Betty from death in a house on fire. Dunbar then beats the foreman in a fight and wins Betty for his wife.
