According to the AFI website, the plot was the following: "Kit Carson Boone takes a job at the Randolph's ranch and finds that Nate Stinson is scheming to take away the property, with the help of his friend Maxwell, since he knows it is rich in oil. Kit saves Ruth Randolph, the owner's daughter, from abduction by Stinson, uncovers the scheme and is invited to settle on the ranch."[3]
