On the night of a dance Tom is kidnapped and taken to a cave, but through Frankie's vigilance he is freed and races to the game in time to win it with a home run. Goodrich kidnaps Bernice from the ranch, but Tom pursues and overcomes the kidnapper; later, he refuses an offer to play in big league and is happily united with Bernice.
