Between ranchers and sheepherders there is a feud. Jean Isbel and Ellen Jorth are in love. Unfortunately, each of them belongs to one of the parties. That complicates the live of both Ellen and Jean very much.

Jean and Ellen are members of two feuding families--the Isbels, who are cattle ranchers; and the Jorths, who are sheep-raisers. Jean's father, Gaston Isbel, accuses his enemy, Lee Jorth, of stealing cattle. Jorth, the sheep raiser, who lives with his daughter Ellen, denies the charge. Ellen sees that her father is a thief when Jean visits her and insists that a horse in her possession belongs to him. This accusation sparks renewed conflict between the families, which, when ended, leaves only Jean and Ellen surviving.—Pamela Short
