Synopsis
Although Ice Harding, a member of an outlaw gang, escapes from the sheriff on his swift pinto pony, "The King," the sheriff vows to "get" Ice one day. Some time later, during a holdup of a stage, Ice encounters the nefarious "Admiral" Bates, a San Francisco vice lord, and his pretty niece, Betty Werdin. Ice refuses to take Betty's jewelry because he thinks that she is a lady and is attracted to her, then later encounters her again when he moves to Saddle City, posing as a rich rancher. Betty also admires Ice and will not help her uncle in his plan to cheat Ice, whom Bates believes is wealthy. She gives Ice an address to reach her in the city, but when he tries to find her he instead discovers that she is a dance hall girl in a waterfront saloon where Moose Halloran plans to shanghai him. Eventually they meet again in Saddle City where they decide to go straight and begin a new life after Ice and The King win a thousand dollars in a horse race.
