Synopsis

Andy Green, a colorful cowboy, finds work at the Flying U cattle ranch, owned by Chip. Chip's foreman Dunk, who is Elsie Gray's guardian, attempts to force her to sign papers releasing him, but she refuses because he has stolen some of her money. Chip fires Dunk, who buys an adjoining sheep ranch, cutting off Chip's water supply and endangering his cattle. When Chip breaks a leg, Andy is made foreman and, in the clash between the cattlemen and the sheepmen, proves himself to be a brave man despite his tall tales. Andy succeeds in preventing Elsie from signing away her claims on Dunk in order to get water for the ranch and, after a hard fight, beats Dunk. Elsie, no longer in love with her suitor Pink, has fallen for Andy, who loves her as well. Andy will marry Elsie and stay on at the Flying U as foreman.
