Made suspicious by the substantial sum Wallace Clifton has offered for the neighboring ranches owned by Jim Buckley and May Gordon, Jim urges May not to sell until he can investigate. But May is tired of ranch life and attracted to Clifton's suave, city ways, and she consents to go on a motor trip with him. Jim learns that there is oil on their properties, he goes in search of May, and they both have exciting adventures in Chinatown (city unknown) while escaping from Clifton. In the end, May gladly returns to the ranch as Jim's wife.
