He and Stella fall in love and Foy remains honest, but when he is accused of cattle stealing, he again runs away. When John Wesley Pringle, who also loves Stella, learns that Foy is innocent but is the object of a conspiracy, he helps Foy by uncovering the plot. Despite his love for Stella, Pringle helps to prove that Foy is innocent so that Stella can find happiness with the man she loves.
