Synopsis
After prizefighter "Wildcat" Saunders loses a fight, his manager, Joe Pitts, takes him to the ranch of his friend Lawson to train. Although Joe had hoped to get Wildcat's mind off women, Wildcat is immediately attracted to Lawson's daughter June. Hawkins, the foreman of the ranch, is actually a fugitive outlaw who robbed the Wells Fargo Express of rubies and diamonds worth $100,000. When Hawkins reads in the newspaper that the express office is closing in on the culprits, he and his henchman, Steve, decide to head for the Mexican border. First, they are visited by an outlaw named Larime, who is to accompany them to the border, where they will split the loot and part company. June lends Wildcat her father's boots for a riding tour of the ranch, unaware that Lawson innocently hid Hawkins' loot in them for safe-keeping. When Wildcat finds the loot, he gives it to Joe, who in turn gives it to Wildcat's handyman, Snowflake. Hawkins, meanwhile, suspects Wildcat of being an agent of the express office. While out riding with June, Wildcat comes across Sheriff Townsend and his posse, who are chasing outlaw Slim Marlin, Hawkins' accomplice. Wildcat goes after Marlin and is nearly shot by him, but the sheriff wounds Marlin, hoping to get him to confess. Later at the ranch, Hawkins holds up Wildcat, Joe and Snowflake, and he is forced to hand over the loot. Hawkins takes June hostage to facilitate his escape, but later lets her go. As Wildcat and the ranchhands chase Hawkins, Larime arrives on the scene and, revealing himself as an express agent, announces Marlin's confession and arrests Hawkins. Wildcat and Snowflake split the reward, and Wildcat proposes to June.
