Plot
According to a film magazine,[2] "Dorothy Parker, the adopted daughter of a ranch owner, Daniel West, is bequeathed a half share of the ranch. The other half goes to his nephew, Buddy West, who has been away for years. The will had a provision, however, that if the nephew proved incompetent of running the ranch, his share was to go to Pete Hall, the foreman. Pete means to get his share, and has Buddy put in a sanitarium for the insane, as incompetent. Here Buddy's roommate is Ginger, a good-natured tramp. Together they contrive their escape. The boys return to the ranch, and though their cabin is burned while Dorothy is in it, Buddy rescues her, giving Hall the thrashing of his life, and orders Hall and his men off the ranch."
