[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[2] Daniel Brown, a drifter, attempts to go to the aid of Stella, the wife of gambling den's owner Bull Dunn, finds himself framed with a murder charge when the wife shoots a gambler. Dan makes his escape with his donkey named Kentuck and boards a train where he is aided by a young woman who hides him in a Pullman stateroom. It turns out that the woman owns a ranch.
