Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] millionaire Richard Gilmore goes west to conquer his sense of fear. At his fiancée's instigation, he turns to polite banditry. He aids a starving widow and her children, frustrates some cattle rustlers, and even overcomes an honest rancher to convince him that his life is in danger. After he succeeds in saving the rancher and his sister, the rustlers are rounded up. He hears that his fiancée has married another, paving the way for his future happiness with the rancher's sister.
