- Richard Manslot, an actor, drifts into Satan's Gulch, broken in purse and spirit. The cowboys have never met an actor and he is an object of ridicule. They rope Richard and bring him to the dance-hall, where he meets "Coyote" Dan, the sheriff, who is in reality a thief. It is election day and a sheriff is to be elected. They decide to elect Richard sheriff for a sinister purpose. The cowboys are informed the election will be a farce and they enter into the spirit of the occasion and Richard, to his surprise, receives the unanimous vote of the place. Richard swells up with pride. Hepsabiah is a slavey in the kitchen of the dance-hall. She becomes much interested in Richard. Pearl Handled regards Richard as a freak. The dance-hall toughs start a sham fight. Richard does not appear to quell the riot. He hides in the stage coach that is about to take out a large sum of money to pay off miners. Dan and Pete, masked, start out to rob the stage. The driver engages in a pistol fight with the desperadoes. A bullet drives a splinter of wood into the anatomy of Richard and his fighting blood is aroused. He knocks out both Dan and Pete, who are still masked. The driver is killed. Hepsabiah appears on the scene and Richard throws her into the stage, drives back to the Gulch and throws Dan and Pete into jail. Richard is a hero and Pearl falls for him, but he drives away with the stage.—Moving Picture World synopsis
