Plot

Jack Ballentine, young and irresponsible, discovers that in order to inherit his uncle's fortune, he must prove to Mrs. Walton, his guardian, that he is a competent businessman. Jack, totally devoid of any business acumen, doesn't hit one. Escaped to the West, he saves a girl and her father from a gang of robbers, while Mrs. Walton freezes his bank accounts, leaving him penniless. The young man proves brave, however, when he saves Jane, the girl, from being kidnapped by her father's former secretary, thus finally winning the approval of Mrs. Walton.
