Synopsis
Man-about-town Cyril Hamilton is engaged to Marcia West, the daughter of a colonel, but when Cyril refuses to accompany the colonel's national guard unit into action, Marcia leaves him and goes West with her father's troops. Ashamed of his cowardice, Cyril enlists as a private in another regiment fighting at the Mexican border, but his society manner annoys all of the men around him. Cyril discovers that Marcia has been abducted by the Mexican bandit Navarete, and after tracking them down, he kills the kidnapper and rescues the victim, who now must acknowledge Cyril's bravery. Finally, however, even he is no match for the dozens of men in Naverete's band. At the last moment, Colonel West and his men save Marcia and Cyril, who quickly get married, and finally Cyril is given a hero's welcome when he returns to his regiment.
