Synopsis

Charlotte Pelham is a city girl who has inherited a ranch from her late uncle.

With her sidekick Lil Bower, Charlotte decides to go into the dude ranch business; but, operating on a shoestring, they find it rough.

Then into Charlotte's life comes Freddy Buck, an impecunious master of ceremonies, who talks her into hiring him as a cowboy, a job he has no qualification for.

The dudes start arriving, including an heiress; a couple of "tired" business men who carry sixty five thousand dollars in a shoe box; and a Hollywood glamour girl.

There are also the Indian characters, Joe Chuckwagon, his wife and Princess One Blossom.

All sorts of skulduggery takes place until finally Freddy Buck emerges as the savior of the ranch - to everyone's amazement - and wins Charlotte's heart to boot.
