A mysterious outsider finds shelter with a rural family in the arid landscape, where he becomes captivated by the rancher's daughter, who is on the cusp of marrying someone else.

John Abbott returns to his desert land, only to be wounded by a hired gunman. He finds friendship with rancher Andrew Naab and his son Marvin, and catches the eye of Naab's daughter Marian.
