Don't anybody get the wrong idea. Successful horse rancher Clint Hale is in love with Mildred, the daughter of gold miner "Sporty" Bill Field, who has become a gentleman cattle rancher. Silly Mildred is taken with gambler Dave Dumont, so Clint tries to become a flashier guy (hence the title), with little success. Clint beats Dumont in a crooked card game, so then Dumont tries to frame Clint for murder.
