The silver mines of Calico, California, have gone dry, and the little town has fallen on hard times. Our villain, Otis Crummy, pretends he is giving shelter to the unfortunate. Actually, he’s running a gang of pickpockets, burglars and sneak thieves. Our hero, Real McCoy, is a crusading newspaperman who pretends to be a member of the gang to get the goods on Crummy. Enter Cheerful Goodykoontz, our heroine. She has run away from a nearby orphanage. She makes out a will giving everything she has to Crummy because he has been kind to her (or so she thinks). Naturally, Crummy thinks she’s a nutcase — especially when she admits she is penniless. Enter Lawyer Muggleworth with the news Cheerful has come into a fortune! If Crummy can dispose of Cheerful, the fortune is his! Luckily, Real McCoy defeats Crummy in a laugh-a-second finale. Real McCoy and Cheerful fall in love, and the town’s good name is restored.
