Storyline

Broncho Billy is seen leaving his humble home in the east to make his fortune in the far west. He kisses his mother fondly goodbye. Broncho Billy, a tenderfoot at this time, arrives in the west, goes to the hotel and engages a room. After placing his belongings in his room he saunters about the hotel lobby. Al Wilkes, a rough western cowpuncher, imagining he can make this unknown man of the east dance, plays a lively tune around his feet with a forty -four caliber revolver. Broncho Billy gives Wilkes a look, and calmly leaves the room. Broncho then strolls into the gambling house and refuses to take a hand in the game. He then walks into the barroom and orders a glass of soda. Wilkes enters the saloon, and seeing Broncho Billy drinking the nearest thing to water, makes fun of him. This grates on the young easterner's nerves. Wilkes calls him a "Mollycoddle," or something to that effect. Broncho suggests a fight to take place right then and there. Broncho is informed by the cowpunchers... Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
