Snake, a notorious outlaw, robs the general store. True Boardman, the sheriff, and a posse starts out after him. Snake riddles the sheriff's hat with bullets and the sheriff and posse run under cover. Boardman resigns. The village trustees appoint a new sheriff. Snake writes a note saying he will be in Kelly's saloon that night. Then he goes to the sheriff's office, handcuffs him and takes his gun away from him. The new sheriff also resigns. The trustees place a notice in the general store, increasing the reward $1,000. Broncho Billy, out of work, captures the outlaw and the reward by a clever ruse.
