Synopsis
When Buzz meets the stagecoach to get medicine for his ailing mother, he discovers it has been attacked by bandits and catches the runaway coach. His heroism greatly impresses passengers Marjorie Stockton and her mother, but displeases Duke Remsden, who is the secret leader of the thieves. Remsden and dandy cowboy Bart Travis, who is a gold miner, vie for the affections of Buzz's sister Nellie. Remsden tries to kill Bart, whom he has framed for the robbery, when he is riding alone with Nellie, but fails due to the intervention of Buzz. When Bart strikes gold, he asks Buzz to file the claims. Remsden tries to kidnap him and steal the location maps, but Buzz escapes and files the claims. Buzz is recaptured by Remsden's gang, who hold him captive in their hideout. Remsden, wearing an outfit like Bart's, kills and robs Pop Snyder, who was carrying $3,500 in cash and had boarded his horse with Buzz at the relay station. The sheriff and his posse chase after Remsden, believing him to be Bart. Meanwhile, Buzz finds evidence of stagecoach robberies in the hideout and escapes in time to meet Bart, who heads for the relay station. Buzz explains the situation to the sheriff, while at the relay station, Remsden ties up Bart intending to hang him for Snyder's murder. He is stopped when the stablehand, Snowflake, ties his saddle to the corral, causing Remsden and his horse to fall when he attempts to ride off. Although Remsden continues to blame Bart in the presence of the sheriff, the sheriff finds Snyder's moneybelt on him. Remsden tries to escape, but Snowflake hits him on the head with a club. Bart uses his money to send Buzz and Nellie's mother on the stagecoach to see a doctor.
