John Smith writes Western fiction without ever having visited the West. Helen Parker, a reader of his work, seeks to alleviate that situation by inviting him to visit her ranch for a real Western experience. Parker arranges for a fake holdup, with her impersonating outlaw Lightnin' Smith. Her plan goes awry when the real outlaw appears, giving the writer an opportunity to save Parker and her father. A 1934 film, Mystery Ranch, bore "a striking resemblance" to this one.[2]
