[1][2] After accidentally killing a man in a fight, a boxer heads West.

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.

Texas attempts to show the younger Corliss boy how to get stock across a neighboring sheepman's land.

A fight breaks out just as Bill arrives at the Corliss ranch, and he goes for the sheriff.
