The film begins with a screen that says, "In Montana, things often happen with a surprising suddenness." This is followed by a black screen with the words, "Help!" appearing multiple times. What appears to be a brawl including guns is unfolding across the street where a business owner notices and calls for help. Then, we see a black screen that says, "Get him boys, don't let him get away." Then there is some more brawling, followed by a black screen that says, "I've got what you're after, try and get it." Some more brawling, followed by a screen that says, "50,000 reward to the man who gets him." The men start running after Tex Sherwood as it appears, and he runs away on his horse. The group of men all hop on their horses and follow Ken until they see he has gone up a hill with his horse and the rest of them can't seem to get up there. A black screen then appears and it says, "Tex Sherwood cowpuncher from the Rio Grande, the cause of all the excitement, who has come to Montana to transact some business of a personal nature," Then, we see a black screen that says, "Buck Scofield, the leader of a lawless outfit," and "Tarzan, Tex Sherwood's pal, by himself." Here, we can tell that Tarzan is Ted Sherwood's horse. Then we see Ted and a black screen that says, "We fooled 'em boy, didn't we?" Tarzan nods, and Sherwood rides him down onto the other side of the hill.
