Synopsis

Tim Reynolds and his two pals, Pat and "Injun," return to town to discover that unscrupulous Sheriff Tate Hurley has turned everyone, except his own mother and girl friend, Mollie Curtis, against him. Hurley, who is scheming to take Tim's father's ranch away, engages Tim in a wrestling match at a rodeo, which Tim easily wins, despite Hurley's dirty tricks. When Tim goes to collect his rodeo winnings, he discovers Hurley and the cashier, Blackton, robbing the bank, and takes the money himself for safekeeping. Hurley later tries to frame Tim for the robbery, forcing him to flee with Pat and Injun. Tim, however, outsmarts the crooked sheriff by making sure that he overhears Tim announce that the money is being transported through the pass. Hurley falls for the trick, and when he approaches the stagecoach driver, he is surprised to find that it is Tim. After Pat and Injun disarm Hurley, Tim's father exposes the sheriff's plot, and Tim and his pals are vindicated.
