Concerned about the dangers of gun use, Dave’s sister Laura shows her apprehension, while Dave and his chums express excitement at the prospect of ranch life, including hunting adventures. However, trouble swiftly arises when Dave accidentally shoots toward a road where Mr. Aaron Poole, a notorious money-lender with a grudge against Dave, is passing by.
