- An adolescent escapee from a cruel orphanage knows she has a lot to learn, and she starts learning it from the rough-and-tumble characters and loafers she encounters in Dodge.
- Conditions are mean and cruel at Pleasant Valley Orphanage. Boss Floyd Baggs and Matron Addie run the place with an iron fist. When 17-year-old Dodie gets yet another whipping, she runs away from the orphanage. Doc Adams, with his horse and buggy, comes across Dodie in the middle of nowhere, and gives her a ride into Dodge City. Dodie explores Dodge, and at a pool hall meets Whip Puckett, who starts getting fresh with her, and Ky; they wind up fighting over her. Dodie finds out that she will need to work to earn some money, so she asks Kitty for a job. Kitty finds out that Dodie is a runaway, also that she got whippings. Then Matt Dillon learns that Dodie is a runaway, and by law, he has to take her back, although he does so reluctantly. Back at the orphanage, Boss Floyd and Matron Addie act real innocent, as if they treat all the orphans nicely. Matt finds out the girls get whippings, and often the girls get nothing to eat. Marshal Matt arrests Floyd and Addie for cruelty and child neglect; in the meantime, he leaves Dodie in charge of the orphanage.—Dodie-fan
