Bad Bill has Catamount Creek terrorized. He is so bad it burns his boots, but he hazes Pete Green, a raw tenderfoot, and Pete gets the idea he can play the game, too. He gets a make-up that beats Bill's for fierceness, and he puts Bill out of the running. But he, too, meets his Nemesis in the shape of a stranger who discovers that his guns are not loaded. Blanks are inserted and when Pete accidentally discharges one he thinks someone is shooting at him and he starts to run. A boy is sent after him with the gun, but even the youngster can frighten Pete. He surrenders and goes back to town, where he shares with Bill the tyranny of the Chinese cook of the Catamount Café.
