After their first rendezvous is interrupted by the feuding fathers, the couple decide to take a train West and marry secretly on a ranch near Silverspur, Arizona. The parents discover the scheme and lock Billy into a freight car, where he dons the attire of a tramp. After being forced to exchange his clothing with a bandit, Billy finds that Margie has been forcibly married to her father's choice, milksop Harold De Vanderveer. Since the "minister" who performed the ceremony is actually the clothes-robbing bandit, however, Billy and Margie steal away to the real minister to be married. Billy wins his bet, while the two fathers finally resolve their differences. See less
