Synopsis
Jeremy Dice, a finisher in a New York East Side tailor shop who prides himself on being a smart dresser and dancer, proves to be cowardly when he retreats from a bully who gets fresh with his girl, and his employer discharges him. Deciding to go out west, Jeremy is caught hitching the rails and comes upon two outlaws in the desert disputing over booty; they are both killed in a shoot-out, and Jeremy is proclaimed a hero by the sheriff, but he is so frightened that he is unable to tell the truth. He is taken in by Welling, a wealthy rancher, and his daughter Mary, who develops an interest in him. When Jeremy's bravery is publicly discredited and Mary's name is slandered by one of the men, Jeremy lands a punch on the accuser's jaw, reestablishing his popularity and winning the admiration of Mary.
