As described in a film magazine review,[2] with the help of his horse Silver King, Bill Gallagher captures a couple of bandits who are terrorizing the town of Tombstone and is made sheriff. Evelyn Churchhill, a young woman evangelist, is kidnapped by outlaws. Burke, the Tombstone Bank president, is the secret leader of the gang. After Bill rescues Evelyn, Burke manages to have him arrested. Bill's horse brings the jail keys to his master. Bill gets loose, whips and exposes Burke, and wins the affection of Evelyn.
