Three bank robbers on the run happen across a woman about to give birth in an abandoned covered wagon. Before she dies, she names the three bandits as her newborn son's godfathers.
Orphaned Molly is heir to a ranch and mine and falls under the influence of saloon-owner Plimsoll, who schemes to deprive her of the inheritance. Sandy Brouke and his pals, Soda Water Manning and Mormon Peters, wander off the range and champion the girl's interests. Sandy falls in love with the girl. The partners succeed in getting the mine from the conspirators and working it themselves while sending Molly off to school. Plimsoll frames Sandy and his men, however, and she returns to find them in jail. Through Molly's efforts Sandy is released, and ultimately the crooks are defeated.
