Sonora Webster has no family and no friends, but she has ambition. After her parents die and she and her sister are left with an aunt she can think of nothing but riding horses. Soon she proves to be too much for her aunt to handle and so she is to be turned over to the state, but before that can happen she runs away to a fair to apply for an ad she found in a newspaper for a 'diving girl.'
There she meets Doc and his son, the handsome Al. She proves her worth to Doc and becomes the star diving girl. She and Al fall in love against his father's wishes, but when Sonora has an accident and loses her sight can she still perform the act that she loves?
