The town of Jawbone possesses two stagecoach lines, which makes for competition between the two lines, one represented by the “Trust” and the other by the “Independents.” And, the “trust” line represented the worst element and the “independent” the best. Jed Black heads the ‘trust” and is surrounded by a bunch of dis-reputables and dog-henchmen, and John Grayson, head of the ‘independent’ is about to get run out of business because he is less aggressive and more honest than his competitor, Jed Black. Grayson has mortgaged his ranch to keep his stage line running, but since he sees nothing but good in everyone, especially his employees, it comes as no surprise that all of his stagecoach-business employees are selling him out to the opposition by doing everything in their power to ruin his business, and that includes his weakling son, Jim, who likes to gamble and since Black also owns the Jawbone saloon where Jim gambles, and since Grayson runs a crooked gambling house, young Jim is soon up to his weakling-ears in debt to his father’s competitor. Meanwhile, back at the mortgaged ranch, Grayson only faithful and honest employee is his ranch foreman, Walt Powers. The latter, since he is sweet on Grayson’s daughter, Alma, decides to help Grayson by taking over the stage line, and winning the government mail-contract that will save the day for Grayson.
