He immediately starts proceedings against the real sheriff and forces him to kill a man in his own defense. The Westerner escapes and is befriended by a lonely girl, Jackie, whom everyone shuns because of a belief that she brings bad luck. He is pursued and imprisoned by Onate’s men, but Jackie obtains a pardon from the governor and Onate’s faithful servant, the Indian, turns traitor for the sake of his American friend. Onate is punished, the sheriff’s commission is restored to the right man, and Jackie finds that her curse has finally been removed.
