Molly is living with her mother in a small cabin out west. The mother is devoted to her daughter; she is lamentably poor, eking out a miserable existence by taking in washing. She realizes that she cannot give her daughter the advantages she would like to and finally she determines to rob for the sake of her child. Disguised as a man, she robs the paymaster of the smelter works of a large sum of money. During the robbery, she drops her handkerchief, which is found later by the sheriff and gives him a clue to her identity. Buck Carter, another sweetheart of Molly's, is as equally favored by Molly as Jim Neal. The employees of the smelter works roast Jim, the sheriff, for his failure to arrest the thief, Jim's great love for Molly prevents his arresting her mother. The name the men have given the robber is the Sand Rat. Jim happens upon a tender love scene between Buck and Molly and after the withdrawal of Buck, he upbraids Molly for her fickleness. She, in turn, tells Jim that he should have spoken to Buck, not to her, branding Jim as a coward. Owing to the failure of Jim to arrest the Sand Rat, the manager of the smelter company seeks outside aid. The Sand Rat is almost trapped and wounded, but makes her escape, subsequently hiding in a cave, the location of which is known to Jim. He finds the woman wounded to death and finally takes her home; he places her on a bed and leaves a letter for Molly telling her of the circumstances of her mother's death and his knowledge of the crime. The girl's heart goes out in gratitude to Jim. The identity of the Sand Rat is never revealed but the men are led to the cave which she inhabited by Jim, and are satisfied by the evidence they discover there that the Sand Rat is dead.
