Plot
In the small mining town of Mesquite, cowboy Dave Saulter (Gary Cooper) spends most of his time looking after his white wonder horse Flash and romantically pursuing a local girl named Ann Winslow (Betty Jewel). Unimpressed with Dave's irresponsible ways, she attends a dance with another cowboy, Buck Hanna (Jack Dougherty). At the dance, Dave is able to ensnare Buck just as he is about to take the first dance with Ann. Later, an embittered Buck plans to steal the gold shipment entrusted to his protection. Meanwhile, Dave ties up the man tasked with protecting the shipment and goes in his place.
As the coach makes its way along a desert road, a bandit named Texas Jack (Christian J. Frank) and his gang waylay the shipment and knock Dave unconscious. After Buck and his men accuse Dave of being involved in the heist, the Swede Oley Smoke Oleson (El Brendel) accidentally locates the stolen gold. When Ann discovers that Buck is guilty of the heist, she confronts him, and he kidnaps her in a coach, with Dave in hot pursuit. When he catches up to the fleeing bandit, he overpowers Buck and wins the heart of Ann.
