- Bored with the ranch, Buck's girl goes off to the city and gets involved in a brothel. When Buck brings a herd of cattle to town, a streetwalker lures him to the house just in time for him to save his girl from Martin.
- Buck Logan, "The Scrapper," is always spoiling for a fight. He was in love with Helen Dawson, the school teacher. But she was tired of her lonely life, and resolved to return to the city at the first opportunity. The boys rode over to say good-bye. Buck proposed for the twentieth time. He had that day saved her life, but she did not recognize any obligation. In the city, Helen found it difficult to make both ends meet. She was unable to find employment. She was seen one day by Jerry, a parasite. He visited Martha Mayes, unprincipled woman, proprietor of a questionable establishment. They laid plans, for Helen was the type of girl to attract wealthy Colonel Stanton. Archie pretended to attack Helen, and Jerry came to the rescue, and walked home with her. Several months passed. Buck and the boys were sent to the city with a shipment of cattle. The boys did not find much to attract them, and went to the stockyards. Jerry had an adventure. A girl twisted her ankle and he helped her home. In the meantime, Jerry had made Helen think him a friend, so when he said that his sister was giving an entertainment, and wanted her to be there, she accepted. The "sister" was Martha, who offered to lend her an evening gown. The girl accepted, and was introduced to Colonel Stanton. He began making advances which aroused her suspicions, and she tried to push him away. Buck, lead by the girl he had befriended, arrived. Buck recognized Helen and demanded whether anyone wanted to fight. His challenge was accepted by most of the men and he had Helen telephone for the boys. A fight took place, with Buck holding his own for some time. The boys arrived. Jerry and Archie seized Helen and carried her to the roof. Buck managed to free himself and pursue them. He threw Archie over the roof and downed Jerry. Then he followed Helen down the fire-escape, where the boys, in a battered condition, joined him one by one. Martha gazed disconsolately at her wrecked furniture, while the boys escorted Buck and Helen to a train leaving for the west.
