Plot

As described in a film magazine reviews,[2] Black Hawk and his bandits steal a bag of money from the bank; the foreman of “B” ranch, Billy Dennis, pursues them. While the bandits divide the loot, Billy obtains the bag and makes away with it. He intends to return it to the bank. The sheriff comes upon the bandits, who accuse Billy of being the Black Hawk. Billy loses the bag and is chased by the sheriff. Jim Low, the cook finds the money and starts for his ranch with the thought of returning the money. The Black Hawk gang steals an automobile which they drive over a cliff. Billy is in time to rope the Black Hawk before the crash. It is explained that Billy was trying to restore the money when the cook appears; and everything ends happily.
