Plot
As described in a film magazine reviews,[3] when Betty Foster comes West, she finds that real cowboys are not a match to what movies have shown her. She has seen them through rose colored glasses. When a robbery occurs, a cowboy fails to protect her. She then disguises herself in a highwayman's clothing and recovers the loot. After she is captured by the bandits, her faith in the West is restored when cowboy Pete Grainger rescues her.
