Kate Saxon inherits the Blue Goose mine in Colorado, and arrives as rioting miners battle a sheriff's posse. Once the disturbance has been quelled, Kate improves wages and working conditions. With the encouragement of old "Bells", the mining engineer, a friendship quickly develops between Sheriff Tom Baxter, a wealthy cattleman, and Kate. Consequently, when women suffragists urge Kate to run for sheriff, she is initially reluctant to oppose Tom, but finally accepts and wins the election. Tom decides to test Kate's mettle by leading her to believe that he bribed voters.
