By deeds of valor both Mike and Jake seek to win the same girl. However, Mike cannot impress his bravery upon her. She imagines Jake the real Jack the Giant Killer, and accepts his invitation to visit Yellowstone Park. Upon the strength of this trip, Mike makes plans to win back all his lost ground. He follows the couple. In a country town he enlists the services of a bad man. The two place a row of dummies armed with guns along the road. The stage, with Jake and the girl inside, comes in sight. At the first sight of the array of brigands, Jake beats it. Mike appears and opens fire on the dummies. Each time he shoots, the bad man pulls a string and a dummy falls. He slaughters the entire band and moves to pluck the reward of his bravery. In the meantime Jake reaches the sheriff's office and tells of the holdup. A posse accompanies him to the scene. Mike's eulogy of himself is interrupted and the imposition of the dummies is discovered.
