Two cowboys, Fuzzy Jones and Billy Carson, catch a pair of bank robbers; and then are endowed with the reward money.
They find a common ground in the aversion of lawlessness and the outlaw's actions, and Fuzzy asks Edith to join him at the paper.
Fuzzy and Edith decide to continue the father's efforts to raise money for a new telegraph wire, so they can more easily communicate with the Texas Rangers.
The following day Fuzzy is attacked on his way into town to pick up supplies for the telegraph line, but is rescued by Billy.
Billy knows something is wrong and heads for the Barlow ranch, but he's followed by Pete, the thug who escorted Fuzzy into town at gunpoint.
