Sergeant Philip Rainey is out to get his man, in this case, Bram Johnson, who, many years before, had killed a dozen men to avenge the death of his father. Rainey's travels up north take him to a cottage where a dying man hands him a baby and a rabbit snare made of a girl's hair, which belongs to Johnson. Rainey meets pretty Celie, who was raised from infancy by Johnson. A gang of marauders, led by Black Dawson, want to kidnap the girl. They capture Johnson and Rainey, but Johnson battles the bad guys and makes short work of them. He is mortally wounded, however, and before he dies, he reveals how he found Celie on a deserted ship. Celie is glad to marry Rainey and be a mother to the infant he was given.
