Dick Jordan, an athletic westerner in search of adventure, is approached by Roger Gale and his business associates who seek to purchase the young man's ranch. The westerner seeks a bigger price and is invited to come East. Gale plans to give Dick such a wild time that he will consent to do anything, but here his plans miscarry, for the westerner falls in love with Sylvia Grant, whose services are recruited to play a practical joke on the visitor. The joke, however, is reversed, with Dick beating up the joke-smiths and ultimately making up his mind to keep his ranch on which to settle with his new wife.
