When Tommy, an Eastern young man, arrives in a Western town, the cowboys see that he is a tenderfoot and make him dance to the tune of a gun. Beecher, a ranchman, Hazel, his daughter, and Sid, the foreman, who is in love with Hazel, rescue Tommy. Tommy and Hazel start out to look for Pete Boak, an outlaw. They chase a negro, mistaking him for Boak. The Ethiopian jumps from the top of a cliff and falls on Boak in camp below, knocking Boak unconscious. Tommy and Hazel find the unconscious Boak, make him a prisoner and win a $500 reward.
