Synopsis
While trying to sell a mechanical contrivance that peels potatoes, opens cans, pulls nails, etc., young Lambert stumbles on a band of cowboys at supper on a cattle ranch. He quickly wins their admiration by his valorous feats and becomes one of their leaders, revealing himself as an expert horseman. He obtains a job as aide and protector of Vesta Philbrook, who is trying to manage a ranch despite the constant raids of cattle rustlers. "The Duke," however, launches a campaign against the cattle thieves, and in a series of hair-raising adventures, with the aid of his friend Taters, he breaks up the gang and kills the leaders, headed by Kerr, then captures the love of Vesta.
