Synopsis
Tom Bailey is forced to hide in the hills when he is unjustly accused of robbery and murder. He is, however, granted amnesty for a day in order to ride in a rodeo and judge a baby contest. Tom awards the prize to the baby brother of Esther Lacy, whose drunken stepfather, Matt Hartigan, is the real murderer. Later in the day, Tom wins a horserace and eludes the trap set for him by the sheriff. Esther goes to visit her brother in Carson City, and Tom takes care of the baby. Hartigan ascertains when Esther and her brother are expected to return and takes steps to wreck the train by running an unscheduled freight on the main line. An alert station agent switches the freight onto a siding, preventing a crash; the freight then derails and kills Hartigan. Esther's brother proves that his late stepfather actually committed the crimes of which Tom has been accused, clearing the way for Tom to find happiness with Esther.
