Nightclub performer Violet La Tour collapses during a show in Sagebrush, Texas, and is subsequently cared for at the ranch of Lon Dixon. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other and eventually get married. However, when Lon leaves to join a posse hunting for rustlers, Violet feels abandoned and decides to return to New York.

Back in the city, Violet is courted by her agent, Maurice Kane, but her heart remains with Lon. When Lon unexpectedly arrives in New York to reclaim her, Violet reaffirms her love for him, solidifying their bond once again.
