- Deserted by her husband and three sons, Ma Tumble supports herself and her small daughter, Falfi, by farming. Fifteen years later, her youngest son, Jim, returns to her, wanted by the law for his part in a bank robbery. At Falfi's insistence, Ma hides Jim from the sheriff's posse and later moves with her family to another town, where she opens a restaurant. Jim gets a job guarding payrolls and ore shipments at a local mine. Recently released from jail, Pa Tumble and the other sons find Ma Tumble and, discovering Jim's job, force him to help them rob an ore shipment. After the robbery, Ma calls Jim a vile coward and forbids him to return until he proves himself a man. Brought to his senses, Jim kills one of his brothers and brings his father and other brother to justice. Jim is then welcomed back by his mother and sister and acclaimed a hero by the grateful populace.
