When Silas Prescott's wife dies on the journey out West, he sells his daughter Sue into marriage with local rancher Ira Beasley. Their life together is loveless and lonely until the circus comes to town. Sue is fascinated by wild-tempered acrobat Jim Wynd, and when he takes refuge in her barn after shooting a man in a gambling brawl, she takes care of him. The two are about to elope when the sheriff arrives. Jim tries to abduct Sue and escape but shoots the sheriff and is arrested. He finally is punished for his misdeeds, while Sue and Ira, having learned to love each other, begin a new life together.
