Slim Bill, an outlaw, succeeds in evading Sheriff Allen and his men by climbing up in a tree. As soon as the sheriff has gone, Slim Bill comes down and hurries away. On another road he sees a man dressed as a parson, but who in reality is "Two Gun Joe," disguised as a parson and for whom there is a big reward offered. He forces Joe to deliver his parson's suit and his guns, although Bill is somewhat surprised to see a parson so heavily armed. Joe, now dressed as Slim Bill, goes sorrowfully and angrily on his way, only to be taken by Sheriff Allen and his men and hustled off to jail. Bill, in the meanwhile, now a parson to all outward appearances, rides off to a hotel and gaily invites the astonished cowboys to have a drink. He remembers himself at the last moment, however, and drinks water. Then he comfortably settles down to a little game of cards, and promptly wins everything in sight, after which he mounts and rides away again. But in the meanwhile, Buck, a half-breed, who from the bushes had watched the exchange of clothes of Slim Bill and "Two-Gun Joe," hastened to the jail and informed Sheriff Allen that he had arrested the wrong man. The sheriff, taking Joe with him, rode off with his men to find the real outlaw. Scarcely had Slim Bill ridden away from the hotel than Sheriff Dunn, who had met Bill there, received a telegram, which read as follows: "Sheriff Dunn: Look out for Joe Bangs, a desperate character, known as 'Two-Gun Joe.' He is disguised as a parson and headed your way. Big reward for his capture. J.B. Hawley." Sheriff Dunn at once called his men and hurried after Bill, overtaking him and bringing him hack to the hotel just as Sheriff Allen arrived with Joe. So instead of getting hack his parson's disguise, Joe was handed over to the other sheriff.
