Synopsis

Encountering Jim Bradley, a youth searching for his father, a cowboy (played by Wally Wales) takes the boy back to the ranch and gets him a job as cook's helper. Jim catches the cook and Longrope, the trusted foreman, robbing Colonel Sterner, the ranchowner; the cook shoots Jim; and Sterner confesses to his daughter, Betty, that Jim is his son. Capturing the cook and turning him over to the sheriff, who thereby learns of Longrope's murder of a cattle association man, the hero prevents Longrope's second attempt to rob Sterner and brings him to justice.
