Deciding to go out west, Jeremy is caught hitching the rails and comes upon two outlaws in the desert disputing over booty; they are both killed in a shoot-out, and Jeremy is proclaimed a hero by the sheriff, but he is so frightened that he is unable to tell the truth. He is taken in by Welling, a wealthy rancher, and his daughter Mary, who develops an interest in him. When Jeremy's bravery is publicly discredited and Mary's name is slandered by one of the men, Jeremy lands a punch on the accuser's jaw, reestablishing his popularity and winning the admiration of Mary.
