As described in a film magazine,{{cite journal |title=Reviews: Roughshod |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=14 |issue=25 |page=49 |publisher=Exhibitors Herald Company |location=New York City |date=June 17, 1922 |url=https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald14exhi}} Betty Lawson (Ferguson), just in Arizona from New York City, takes pity on Les Artwell (Rollens), suspected of horse stealing, and upbraids 'Steel' Brannon (Jones), foreman of the Triangle L ranch, for dragging the fugitive from his saddle. Later, however, she learns that Artwell is a member of a gang of cattle thieves that is led by 'Satan' Latimer (Flynn). A raid is made on the cattle stock of the Triangle L and Steel is badly wounded in the clash between the ranch men and the outlaws. Betty assists Steel to Les's cabin but there is detained by Satan Latimer, who takes her to a cave in the mountains. Steel follows them to a canyon and, after a terrific fight, whips Latimer and saves Betty.
