Daring bandit Diamond Carlisle and Lopez, a murderer, cleverly escape from a posse and cross the border into Canada. Abandoned by Lopez, Carlisle is hired by gambler and saloon-keeper Black Meyer to use his skill with cards to bankrupt Dick Boyd, who owns valuable timberland. Carlisle proceeds successfully until he falls in love with Dick's sister, Mae. He then has a change of heart and returns his winnings to Dick. Lopez reappears, fights with Carlisle, and is killed. Carlisle exchanges clothes with him, thus satisfying the Northwest Mounted Police, when they find the body, and leaving Carlisle free to marry Mae.
