Richard Thurston, a champion rodeo rider, is prevented from competing in a rodeo by the event`s crooked chairman Riggs, who has bet a sizable amount of money on another rider and doesn`t want to take a chance of losing it if Thurston competes and wins. As if that weren`t enough, Riggs also frames Thurston for the theft of money from Daisy Hollister, the owner of the ranch where Thurston works. Complications ensue.
