Finally, out of desperation, Uncle Wallace, hoping to remove Priscilla from other and more attractive suitors, arranges for the three of them to visit the family ranch in Arizona, but his plan fails when, once out west, Priscilla falls in love with Jim Cartwright. Three cattle thieves, whom Worthington hires to kill Jim, throw him from a cliff into a deep ravine; Jim survives, however, and is rescued by Beverly, his educated horse. Jim then evens the score with the three men, but Priscilla must return to New York. She soon wires Jim that she is being forced into marriage with Worthington. Taking a few of his trusted men with him, Jim goes to New York. There the dauntless cowboys ride up Park Avenue to a last-minute rescue, and Jim and Priscilla make plans for an immediate marriage.
