Synopsis: [From Photoplay Magazine] Bonita was the daughter of the leader of a gang of outlaws. She had never known female companionship and had grown up in her father’s camp of lawless, reckless men as free as the birds in her mountain ranges. One day her father’s lieutenant ventured down the mountain, and finding a beautiful girl outside her home attempted to kiss her. Freeing herself, she secured a gun from the house and returned to find her assailant gone. When her lover, Jack Dickson, of the rangers, called she told him of the outlaw’s attack, and he departed into the mountains to locate and punish her assailant.
