Appointed to examine recruits for Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, Dr. Steven Monroe arrives by stagecoach to the town of Painted Springs. Painted Springs is being threatened by a war between the local sheep ranchers and cattlemen, and as soon as the coach stops in town, a gunfight between the two factions breaks out. Among the wounded are stagecoach passenger Nancy Richards, the daughter of a cattle rancher, and Ed Gordon, a sheep-man. After tending to Nancy's wound, Steve treats Gordon, even though Nancy's father John tries to stop him. The ranchers are faced with a shortage of cowhands because so many have joined the Rough Riders, and Fred Burns, a cattleman who pretends friendship for Richards and the others, seizes the opportunity to plant outlaws at the Richards' ranch, where he hopes to steal the cattle at roundup time. Burns cunningly plays Gordon against Richards by making it seem as though Gordon is responsible for the subsequent death of Richards' cattle
