He reads of opportunities in the unsettled West for young men and begs his mother to give him money to go there. Reaching the West and securing occupation with a farmer, he leaves him in a huff when he finds he cannot do as he pleases. He tries his hand at ranching, does not accept the pleasantries of his fellows gracefully, and again finds himself out of a job. He writes his mother for more money, telling her that he has a good position and will receive his wages at the end of the month. She mails him a letter, enclosing his request. Desperate and in need of funds, he holds up the very stagecoach carrying the mail and his mother's letter to him. He steals the mailbag and makes his way across the hills to a deserted cabin, where he examines its contents and discovers the letter from his mother. The robbery is reported to the officers and a posse starts in pursuit of Bobby. When he reads his mother's letter and realizes the sacrifice she has made for him, he is conscience-stricken, and determines to give himself up. On his own confession, he is convicted and serves the penalty of his crime in jail. After his discharge he returns home, thoroughly repentant and determined to make amends to his poor mother for his past dishonor, never letting her know his experiences in the West, his arrest, or his imprisonment.
