As described in a film magazine review,[2] the unjustly convicted Wally Moore returns to his hometown after his prison release to find that his mother's ranch has been seized for an unpaid mortgage by the banker Brown. Jack Bowers persists in annoying Helen Jenkins through his unwanted attentions and Wally intervenes, fights with Jack, and is arrested again. Meanwhile, Bowers and his gang rob the bank. Wally is released, goes after the crooks and catches them, and recovers the stolen loot. He obtains a reward, has his name cleared, and wins the affections of Helen.
