The Roaring West

Montana Larkin and Jingle Bob Morgan, cowpunchers and partners, ride into new territory to join an impending land rush. They have with them a mail order catalogue, which contains a map giving the location of valuable mineral deposits, which they expect to secure by location at the time of the land rush.

Montana helps Mary and the other victims of the accident to safety. Gillespie rides on to locate the claims and has filed on nine mineral claims by the time Jingle Bob and his friends arrive, and a general free-for-all fight is in progress when Mortana rides up with gun in hand. Gillespie offers to let Parker and Mary share in the property provided the daughter will marry him at once.

Escaping from the ruins of the jail, Montana joins Jingle Bob at the Parker ranch and the two plan to start out in search of Clem, who has been kidnapped by the Gillespie gang during the saloon fight and taken to a deserted ranch in Hidden Valley. Happy, a cowboy delegated by Parker to guide Montana discovers Clem is imprisoned in the cellar.

The Gillespie band rides off with Clem who refuses to disclose the location of the gold deposits. Mary meets her father and several of his men, and all hasten to the Hidden Valley ranch, where Montana and Jingle Bob are emerging from the ruins. Steve, found wounded in the brush, confesses that the band killed Trask, the man Montana is accused of murdering.

Montana is saved from the stampeding herd by his horse, Silver. Fearing capture, Gillespie and his men withdraw hurriedly. Returned to the caves, Gillespie and Clem strike a bargain, though neither intends to keep it. Clem agrees to point out the location of the gold deposits. Montana and Jingle Bob overtake the Gillespie band, a free-for-all fight ensues and the horse beating Clem runs away.

Montana escapes, Steve overhears and reports that Gillespie and Brett are planning to attack a wagon train at Lizzard creek owned by Bill Hardy, brother-in-law of Parker. Ann's father, Blackie, a rascall's freighter, reveals that Hardy has been wounded and rides in one of the wagons.
