      Plot


      As described in a film magazine review, Ted Drake is the son of a wealthy man, and his father John sends him to Mexico to assist government officials using a ranch owned by his father to clean-up a band of smugglers. He rescues Ysabel, the daughter of Don Castro, from some kidnappers. To get her on a departing train on time, Ted rides through a crowd in front of the train station. In rapid succession he has a number of narrow escapes. To gather evidence Ted impersonates one of the desperados. However, he is captured and put in front of a firing squad. His wonder horse Silver King sets off an explosion which brings the American cavalry across the boarder, arriving just in time to prevent the death of Ted. The cavalry rounds up the smugglers. It turns out that the Don is actually a secret service man, which allows Ted's romance of Ysabel to continue.
