John Gregory ( Monroe Salisbury ) becomes the "Eagle," a thief after his mother's death and is determined to get even with the mining company that stole his family's fortune. No one suspects that he is a bandit, not even Lucy ( Edna Earle ) , the girl he loves, and her brother Bob ( Ward Wing ). John finally breaks into the mining company's main office, but discovers that another thief has arrived before him and killed the night guard. The thief turns out to be Bob, and when he is arrested, John interrupts the trial and takes the blame himself for Lucy's sake. Bob commits suicide, and Lucy, who discovers his written confession just before John is to be hanged, rides wildly to the jail and saves John's life.
