Flo is an athletic young woman, who can ride and shoot, and Ned loves her. His affections are not returned and he is furious at times. Near the camp, Jack Baldwin, the aviator, has his airship housed and is making frequent flights while experimenting with his dirigible. He meets Flo and they are mutually attracted. While prospecting Flo's father discovers gold in abundance and he and companions stake out a claim. Bullard and the partner conceive the idea of putting the old man out of the way and filing on the claim. Ned returns to the camp and attempts to force his attentions on the girl and she rides away. The old prospector returns and he is shot by Ned in a struggle, who steals the papers. Flo is a witness to the act and, after making her father comfortable, she mounts her horse and rides to frustrate the intentions of the scoundrels. She drops from her horse exhausted before the quarters of the young aviator and tells the story. In the meantime Ned has ridden to the railroad station, but finds the train just departing. He secures a high powered motor car and, offering the driver a big bonus, is whirled away in the direction of the office of the recorder. Jack Baldwin takes in the situation and lends his aid. Armed with a duplicate description of the mine, he mans his airship, soars away, and the race for the office of the recorder is on. It is a highly interesting speed contest. Ned has the advantage of several miles start, but Jack passes him and arrives at the office of the official first and files on the claims in the name of Flo. The daring young aviator wins the girl and the thanks of the old prospector as well, while the villains leave the country, with Flo and her father in peaceable possession of the mining claim.
