Plot

edit

Bob, known as the Colorado Kid, is the foreman on the ranch of Colonel Gifford. A business transaction takes place in a saloon, where Gifford accepts $5000 from Wolf Hines for the sale of his livestock. Bob tries to get Gifford to leave the bar and go home, since he is very drunk and carrying so much money. Gifford refuses to leave, and during the disagreement, Bob is fired by Gifford. Gifford leaves the bar alone, and on his way home, Hines, who is the political boss of the town, murders Gifford in order to get the money back. Bob is then accused of the Gifford's murder.
