She confides her secret to her sympathetic sister, and when her father demands that she marry his lieutenant and places her under restraint to force the marriage, the little sister rides to the ranger's and arranges an elopement. They are captured and the revengeful rustlers determine to shoot the rangers. His sweetheart throws herself before her lover and pleads for his life. During this, the little sister slips away and warns the rangers of their leader's plight. The crafty father tells her that if she will marry the man he has selected, they will let her lover go free--if she refuses, he will be shot instantly. To save his life, the girl makes a supreme sacrifice and agrees to marry the father's choice. The lover pleads to be shot rather than accept the sacrifice. Meanwhile, the rangers ride to the rescue of their chief. Forcing the girl to make good her promise, the rustlers ride with her to the nearest minister and hold the ranger until the marriage is consummated. The rangers then arrive and rescue their leader from the outlaws and in the fight that ensues, a ranger's ".45" speeds the leaden messenger who frees the girl from a distasteful union and returns her to her lover's arms.
