Plot
As described in a film magazine,[4] Windy Watkins (Hoxie), noted prevaricator, tells the men of the Bar Nothing Ranch a series of thrilling adventures, and a stranger becomes interested. So Windy proceeds to tell him how he and Phil Hollis (Foster) while in Alaska had trouble with a pair of men who had known Phil in Montana. Phil was killed, Windy tells the stranger, and Windy was accused. He escaped and assumed the charge of the ranch of Eunice Hollis (Clayton), which is under threat of cattle rustlers, but was forced to leave when word of the murder accusation bobs up. Windy completes the story, and then the stranger surprises them by saying that Windy told the truth and that he was a federal marshal come to arrest the storyteller. A chase ensues, and the men grapple midstream and then carried through a subterranean passage until they reach the hiding place of Bill Spray (Jordan) and his cattle rustlers. The marshal finds in Spray the real murderer when Windy makes him confess. His innocence and veracity established, Windy returns to Eunice.
