In the last town he was in the sheriff issued a warning to his brother sheriffs in adjoining counties telling them to beware of the "Quarter Breed," as he was a thieving no-account. He wanders into the town of Sparks Canyon and enters a saloon. He is seen by the sheriff, who recognizes him. The sheriff orders his deputies to watch the Breed. The sheriff receives a letter from his sister Flossy, stating that she is on the way to visit him. The Breed joins a game of cards and is caught cheating. The men threaten to lynch him, but the sheriff's cooler judgment prevails, and the Breed is driven out. The sheriff's sister arrives at the railway station and boards a stage for Sparks Canyon. The driver has been indulging in drink and on the way becomes jolted from his seat. The horses run away. The Creed sees the runaway stage and stops the horses. The girl is very grateful for this brave deed and persuades him to drive the stage to its destination. Upon his arrival the Breed is greeted suspiciously, having been run out of town, but when the girl explains, everyone greets him with cheers. The girl has made a strong impression upon the Breed and his habits change from that time on. He is given a position as stage driver through the sheriff's influence. In the days that follow the Breed loves the girl more and more, but keeps this from her. Jim Glass, a stranger, arrives in town, and presents a letter to the sheriff proving him to be a brother of an old-time friend of the sheriff. The sheriff takes the boy in and treats him as one of the family. Jim and Flossy become very much attached to each other. A short time later the Breed gets an opportunity to propose to the girl. She rejects him when she tells him that as he is only a half-breed, she can never marry him. The Breed's manner changes. He takes to drink and loses his position as stage driver. A new driver is assigned to the stage, and is told by the superintendent that on his next trip he will have charge of the pay money for the mines. Flossy goes to the railroad station to do some shopping. The new stage driver is too weak to overcome the temptation and tells a pal about the gold shipment. He and his pal persuade the Breed to participate with them in the hold-up. When the stage leaves the station, the Breed gets inside. The other partner drives ahead of the stage to prepare for the hold-up. Just as the stage leaves, Flossy enters. The Breed is very much surprised to see her. In the girl's presence the Breed's manner changes again and better qualities prevail, and instead of joining in the hold-up, he prevents it. He knocks the driver from the stage and takes his place himself. Arriving at the point where he is to meet the other member of the party, he shoots him, and the money is delivered safely at Snarks Canyon. Everyone is surprised to see the Breed in charge of the stage, and when the girl tells of his bravery in bringing the money through, everyone greets him enthusiastically. In recognition of his brave service the Breed is assigned the regular night run on the stage. The sheriff takes him in his home and on their arrival Flossy and Jim are discovered in a love scene. The Breed's real noble character comes forward and with great emotion he tells him to take the girl as she is too good for him and his only place is to drive the stage, that in the future he will be friends to them and watch over their happiness.
