Plot Summary
Bess Thurston (Gerber), whose no-account brother Jack (Pegg)
is unable to support her, obtains employment in a dance hall.
This shatters the illusions of Cheyenne Harry (Carey), who has fallen in love with her.
When he rescues her from the advances of Beau Ross (Harris), Cheyenne's confidence in her is restored.
Her brother then aids Beau in an attempted robbery and Harry allows them to escape.
Beau takes Bess with him into the desert. Harry follows and a duel ensues in which they are both wounded.
Bess rides the only horse left out of the desert, while Beau and Harry struggle along on foot.
A sandstorm results in the death of Beau,
