The Bar Cross liar is a ragamuffin whom the entire Bar Cross ranch considers a disgrace to its outfit. The boys tell him with disgust, that he had better quit saving to buy the ranch and secure some decent duds to wear; that if he does not improve in appearance be cannot go to the Christmas ball. Time passes. It is by accident that one of the cowboys discovers that the "liar" has been using all his money to support an aged father and mother. When he carries this news back to the cowboys, who have damned the "liar" in every possible way, the boys are ashamed and the true generosity of the west is evidenced when they decide to make up to the "kid." They visit the boss and are assured that the boy will get his raise in salary. Then they chuck an able-bodied man out of his job and bring on the father and mother, giving the job to the father and explaining to the amazed family, who find the cottage completely furnished that "Coffee," the aforesaid able-bodied man, did not stay to take the furnishings with him. When the Christmas party comes on, one of the boys brings in the "Liar," who from the way he is summoned believes he is about to be fired. What is his surprise when he is greeted with a welcoming volley from the merrymakers and his mother clasps him to her heart. The "Liar" is presented with a complete new outfit, including a silver mounted saddle, as a token of the outfit's esteem.
