Synopsis
Helen Wakefield refuses the marriage proposal of Lawrence Knight, a rich lounge lizard, and advises him to improve himself by developing manly traits. He goes out west, changes his name to "Patches," and gets together some cattle rustlers. He is accused of being an outlaw and of shooting a fellow cowpuncher, falls in love with a ranch girl, leaves her, and then accidentally meets Helen Wakefield in a pasture where he is trying to rope a ferocious bull and she is drawing water. The bull makes for her; Knight lassos it, saving the woman from death; and they recognize each other. During his absence Helen has married and come to the West accompanied by her surveyor husband. Knight's old love flashes up, but having recently developed manly traits, he sets his jaw and departs for another section of the country.
