Leaving his consumptive wife with her child alone, and in poverty, Dave Dexter passes his time playing cards in the "Silver Star Saloon." His wife, seized with a choking cough, realizes that the end is at hand. She sends little Mary to the saloon for her father. She finds him in a dispute over cards. She steps between "Mexican Luke" and her father. Luke slinks back, ashamed by the child. The father returns to his cabin, realizes his wife's condition, and hastens out for help. The Mexican steals a cowboy's horse and rides toward Dexter's shack, seeking trouble, meeting Dexter going on his way for help. Dexter stops him and tells him of his wife's sickness and begs for the loan of his horse. The Mexican strikes Dexter with his whip. Driven to desperation, Dexter pulls the Mexican off his horse, mounts and rides away, leaving the Mexican swearing vengeance. The cowboys miss the stolen horse and find the hatband from the Mexican's sombrero. They start after him
