King refuses to allow Madge to accompany him, so she calls on Mrs. Stone, the wife of a poor rancher and mother of a family of three. She finds the Stones threatened with dispossession by "Crab" Manville, a money lender, who holds a note against them for five hundred dollars. Madge determines to get her father to settle the trouble of her poverty-stricken friends. Riding through the mountains, Madge sees Manville converse with a band of horsemen. Suspicious, she follows him until they come to a massive door. He discovers Madge following him, and pursues her, and shoots her horse from under her. Undaunted, Madge returns to the cave on foot, is captured by the bandits, who have held up the gold shipment and returned with the plunder. She overhears Manville say, "I'm taking no chances; bring the stuff to my place after dark and I'll pay you for it." King and his foreman are delayed by taking the wrong road. They ride near the "door in the mountain," and hear Madge's cries. King succeeds in rescuing his daughter when he starts a fire and smokes the bandits out. The leader is captured. Madge informs her father that Manville is at the bottom of the affair, and that they can catch him at Stone's ranch. They arrive in time to find Manville and the sheriff about to take Stone's furniture and belongings. They inform the sheriff Manville is in league with the bandits. The sheriff takes Manville into custody and Mr. and Mrs. Stone invite Madge and her father to tea.
