Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Smiling Bill wanders west to forget that he killed a man in the boxing ring, and goes into the desert. Meanwhile, he has incurred the enmity of Texas, a bad man. Texas gets a job at the Corliss ranch. Texas attempts to show the younger Corliss boy how to get stock across a neighboring sheepman's land. However, the boy loves the sheepman's daughter and does not want to stir up strife with him. A fight breaks out just as Bill arrives at the Corliss ranch, and he goes for the sheriff. Before the sheriff arrives, the elder Corliss is killed. Bill rescues the sheepman's daughter and another young woman.
