The Hurricane Kid (Hoot Gibson) runs afoul of Colonel Langdon's ranch foreman, Lafe Baxter (William A. Steele), when Joan Langdon (Marion Nixon) shows an obvious preference for The Kid, and The Kid responds by protecting Joan from Baxter. Out of gratitude The Kid tames a wild mare and rides it to victory in a race staged by Langdon and Hezekiah Potts (Harry Todd), with their ranches as stakes.
