Tim, a good-hearted cowboy, stirs up the townspeople to donate to the Belgian Babies' Milk Fund, but on his way to the nearest post office, a gang robs him of the money collected. After escaping, he trails them and rescues Doris Jenkins from a runaway stagecoach after the gang robs her. When Tim meets a minister whom the gang had ejected from Tarantula, where Doris lives, Tim goes there as a new preacher to clean up the town. Baxter, the sheriff and gang leader, has his men pull the flimsy church down during Tim's first embarrassed attempt at sermonizing. Tim gets even by riding up stairs to the balcony of a building, jumping to the roof of Baxter's saloon, and crashing to the floor. After Tim is captured and about to be hung, he escapes and saves Doris, whom Baxter had abducted. He makes Baxter witness their marriage, and forces him to write a check for a new church.
