Synopsis

A cowboy, known as The Concentratin' Kid, becomes enamoured of Betty Lou Vaughn, a radio singer whom he has never seen, and is inveigled into a wager with his friends whereby he loses a radio if he is not successful in winning her hand. Moss Blaine, foreman of the Bar Q Ranch, is in league with rustlers along with Campbell, whose friend Stile brings a group of showgirls to the town, including Betty Lou. She refuses the Kid's proposal after learning of the wager, and dejected, he returns to the ranch to find the cattle have been rustled while the hands were attending the show. He rides to head off the gang and meets Campbell, who has kidnaped Betty Lou; the Kid scatters the rustlers, rescues the girl, and marries her, thus winning the bet.
