He commits the unpardonable sin (in any locality) of mixing in a family fight and, before he is licked, trimming enough opponents to make Jack Dempsey proud had he been involved instead of Fred Gilman alias Terry Moore. The judge offers him the alternative of getting married within two weeks or an equally cynical alternative of the rock pile. He elects the wife sentence. His letter answering a Denver paper's matrimonial ad gets mixed with the judge's request for a servant girl. Of course, Terry gets the peach in the end, after he has staged a thrilling rescue of her in a runaway stage coach, which is mighty well done, and the judge gets his appointed Swedish servant girl. Before that, to make it a full day, the "Shoot 'Em Up Kid" baffles the villain and his pals in stealing a payroll carried by the stage coach. Terry's feats of valor entitle him to his girl reward.
