Plot Summary:Tom Fitzsimmons is discharged from the ranch where, as a cowboy, he has the nerve to propose to the ranch owner's daughter. Disheartened, Tom seeks what solace he can find in the nearby booze emporium, and there, in a penny dreadful, he reads of a hold-up. This determines his course and he goes out to become a bandit. In holding up the stagecoach, however, he finds that he is in reality holding up the hold-up man Red Bill, for whom $1,000 reward is offered. He completes his capture, collects his thousand dollars reward, and returning to the ranch dazzles the owner's eyes with his crisp thousand-dollar bill and wins the girl.
