Plot Red Ryder persuades a group of homesteaders to settle in Paradise Valley. As the community begins to grow, businessmen from nearby Central City propose building a dam in exchange for a half interest in the valley's land, claiming it will provide a reliable water supply. Using Red's support to gain the settlers' trust, they complete the project but later manipulate a shareholders' meeting to secure control of the dam and its water rights for themselves. Believing that Red was involved in the scheme, the homesteaders turn against him and hold him responsible for their loss.
