Claypool, chief of all the rustlers, posing as a rich rancher, is just preparing to go to town to meet the other rustlers, when Nell rides in with the mail which brings them the news that the scabbard of the dagger is in Los Angeles in the hands of a man named Decker. They plan to rob Decker. In the meantime, the long suffering cattlemen, meeting in the sheriff's office, make inquiries after the detective from Los Angeles who has not as yet showed up. In town Grant is accused by the cattlemen of stealing one of their horses, since they notice a brand on his horse, and seeing a chance to break loose from the rustlers, now that he has his evidence. Grant starts a rumpus and the rustlers, who always avoid trouble, rush away. Then Grant explains to the cattlemen that he is "John Edwards" the detective, but he is overheard by Claypool, who slips out unawares. Grant, the sheriff, and a posse go after the rustlers.

The posse get the rustlers and Grant has almost captured Nell, but she is clever enough not only to elude him, but by a trick, has his horse throw him to the ground. Nell escapes, but Grant, realizing that she holds the key to the situation, pursues her. Two of her accomplices rope him, however, and drag him from his horse. Just then, one of the cattlemen coming along in a buckboard, turns the bend in the road, and unable to pull up his frightened team, drives straight over Grant as the two rustlers are dragging him along.
