“Salvation” Smith is a traveling preacher, who stops at Cattleville, Ariz. for the purpose of introducing religion among the cowboys. Our first scene shows the cowboys having a lot of fun with the new preacher. The next day we see the cowboys doing some very amusing dancing and acrobatic stunts when “Salvation” comes in and announces that he is going to hold a prayer meeting. The boys laugh, but Nellie, the daughter of old Pop Greyson, who keeps the hotel, comes in and insists that the parson be given a show. Smith prays, and the cowboys, touched by his fervor, respond to his preaching. “Salvation” becomes interested in Nellie, and he tries to teach her something about the Bible. Big Bill comes in, and thinking the minister is trying to court the girl, he strikes Smith, Jim Roberts, who is Nellie’s real sweetheart, enters and calls Bill down good and hard. Bill and Jim agree to fight it out in the woods, where they meet. A thrilling duel ensues in which both men are shot, Bill seriously. Jim thinks he has killed Bill, and he crawls away. “Salvation” finds Bill and carries him to the hotel, where he is pronounced dead, and is laid out on the table. The sheriff goes after Jim, who, being wounded in the leg, has crawled to “Salvation” Smith’s cabin. The sheriff goes after Jim, who, being wounded in the leg, has crawled to “Salvation” Smith’s cabin. The sheriff is heard coming, and Jim begs Smith to save his life. A thrilling dramatic situation follows when the gentle preacher decides to protect the cowboy, and when, in answer to the sheriff’s question, “Have you seen Jim Roberts?” Smith tells his first lie. That night Smith helps Jim escape on his horse. A very funny comedy scene follows in which Big Bill, who is laid out under a sheet as a corpse, comes to life and makes the watching cowboys believe he is a ghost. “Salvation” Smith leaves for other fields. While preaching on the street Jim Roberts, who believes he is a murderer, comes up. Smith stops preaching, grabs Jim and tells him the truth. Our last scene shows Jim and Smith being received by the cowboys back at Cattleville.
