To avoid marrying Snap, Mescal flees into the desert and is captured there by desert pirate Mal Holderness, a ruthless man seeking to control the surrounding area's water rights by buying or seizing the local ranches. Because Naab has refused to sell, Holderness begins a feud, taking Mescal prisoner and killing her prospective bridegroom Snap, who has followed her into the desert. As the leader of the law-abiding community, Naab, with a group of sympathetic Indians, burns down the neighboring town serving as a hideout for Holderness and his gang. Mescal is rescued and returned to Jack.
