The agency sends Frank Newhall. Frank meets and admires Tess, who lives with her father, a rough-looking character of the mountains. Tess sees Frank with a bag of counterfeit money. Frank found it in the road. Tess suspects him of being a counterfeiter. On the other hand Frank sees Jim in some suspicious situations and concludes that he is the bad money artist. Jim is shot from ambush. He is found by Frank, who takes him to Jim's cabin. In the search for water, Frank enters a small room in the cabin. There he finds counterfeit money and other paraphernalia. Tess returns to the cabin. Frank orders Tess to ride for the doctor, which she does. Meanwhile, the real counterfeiters, one of whom fired the shot that wounded Jim, decides to go to his cabin and recover the property which he had taken from them. While Frank is in the second room the counterfeiters enter and cover Jim with their gun. Frank hears them from the other room, and although he can't figure out the situation he comes in and captures the counterfeiters. Tess returns with the doctor and the sheriff, who starts to arrest Frank. Jim pulls back his coat disclosing a detective badge, and so does Frank, clearing the confusion.
