He reaches a small frontier town and allows himself to be taken as a "tenderfoot." He is engaged by a cattle outfit as handy man. The boys decide to take advantage of his newness and haze him. The first night while asleep he is rudely jerked from the ground. He finds himself being carried over the desert on the end of a rope drawn by a galloping pony. Discovering that one of the Mexicans has played the trick, Tex pours water on his blankets. A fight ensues and after a fierce rough-and-tumble battle the alleged "tenderfoot" emerges victor. The Mexican vows revenge. Shortly after Tex lassos a wild bull which is chasing the owner's daughter and with a wonderful display of skill throws him by the tail. A friendship springs up between the two and they soon become sweethearts. The cowboy decides to enter in the Frontier Day Celebration. By wonderful riding and reckless daring, he captures the prize for broncho busting, throwing a steer, the relay race and various other contests. Awaiting his chance the Mexican cuts the young fellow's saddle girth. He is thrown in front of the galloping horses but escapes with a few bruises. Re-entering the contest he captures the honors and is rewarded by a promise of marriage from Mildred, while the Mexican is led to prison. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
