His daughter, Betty, suggests that he let her take the gold in the prairie schooner, and that the bandits will think she is going for supplies, After some hesitation, Bill consents. The following morning, Shorty starts to town for more grub, and ties his schooner in front of the saloon. Bettie comes along and ties her schooner alongside Shorty's. Shorty starts some commotion in the pool room with a pool shark and is thrown out. He climbs into Betty's schooner and falls asleep. Bill's stage is held up and not finding the gold, Sancho has a hunch that Betty has it. He wheels his men around and starts after her. Betty sees him coming and heads back for town. In the meantime, Shorty is awakened by the jolting of the schooner. Betty is much startled when he appears, but he tells her not to be afraid, he will protect her from the bandits. As the wagon makes a curve in the road, Shorty is thrown to the ground, where he sits and fires upon the approaching bandits. He takes shelter behind some rocks and puts up a fight. In the meantime Betty arrives at the village and the camp boss rounds up the cowboys and they go to Shorty's rescue. They capture the bandits, and Betty proclaims Shorty a hero.
