While John and Anna are mourning the loss of their parent, Dick sneaks away with the small amount of money and squanders it over a gambling table. This undignified act is characteristic of his whole life. He is an unworthy son. A year elapses and during this time John has lost track of his brother, Dick. He is now a trusted member of the mounted police. John's partner in his work is called Fredericks, an admirer of Anna. The country is over-run with a band of outlaws led by a desperado known to the police as the Fox. The evidence of his crime shows the outlaw to be a criminal of the most unscrupulous type, but plan as they may to trap him, he always escapes. Finally, John comes to the conclusion that there is a traitor among the members of the mounted police who keeps the Fox informed as to their plans. John investigates and learns that it is his companion, Fredericks, who is in league with the bandit. By watching Fredericks he locates the Fox and his band. The outlaws are surrounded and such a battle ensues as can take place only between fighters possessing a thorough knowledge of wood craft. The majority of the members of the band are either killed or taken prisoners and only the Fox escapes, with John hot on his trail. When the battle is over Fredericks is dishonorably discharged from the service. In the meantime while Anna is anxiously awaiting the return of John, she has a visitor. It is the Fox, whom she finds to be no other than her brother, Dick. He appeals to her sisterly love and she hides him in the loft of the house an instant before John enters. John hears a noise overhead and upon investigating sees the Fox escaping over the roof. He gives chase and a moment before Anna catches up with him he fires at the fleeting figure. His aim is good and the Fox lies dead at his feet. As he surveys his work Anna runs up, "It's your brother Dick," she cries. His victory has turned to defeat.
