Wildwest-Held Billy the Kid und sein kauziger Freund Fuzzy kämpfen gegen eine schreckliche Banden-Chefin, die es faustdick hinter den Ohren hat.

Billy Carson and Fuzzy Jones have just collected a reward and Fuzzy indulges in a dream of getting away from the hectic life he has been leading and wants to settle down. They arrive in Red Rock just as the newspaper is being sold at foreclosure and, despite the attempts by Lafe Barlow to intimidate him from bidding. Fuzzy finds himself the owner of a newspaper. Fuzzy meets Edith Martin, daughter of the former owner, and unthinkingly commits himself to carrying on her father's policy of bringing a telegraph line to Red Rock. For reason of his own, Barlow is against this and has his henchmen wage a campaign of terror against the ranchers and citizens. Before long, Billy who had been lazily indifferent to everything connected to Fuzzy and his newspaper, decides to take a hand on the side of the good guys.

Fuzzy, de helper van Billy Carson, heeft genoeg van het rondzwerven en wil zich eindelijk wel eens ergens vestigen om een eerbaar burger te worden. Dat verlangen houdt niet lang stand wanneer geld gestolen wordt dat bedoeld is voor een telegraaflijn. Fuzzy krijgt de schuld van het verdwijnen van het geld.
