Tyke covets Betty Lugo, who lives with her crazy old father on the outskirts of town and resists Tyke's efforts to make her a dancing girl at his saloon. When Tyke fails to drive the Stranger out of town, he abducts Betty, to whom the Stranger is attracted, and locks her in his closet. In the midst of his rescue of Betty, the Stranger overhears Jean, Tyke's lover, threaten to expose Tyke as the murderer of the Stranger's brother. After beating Tyke in a fistfight, the Stranger takes Betty across the Mexican border to marry her, leaving Tyke to the vengeance of Jose.
