Hiram Hughes, foreman on "Pop" Lynd's ranch in Bingo Gulch, has quit his job. He has had enough of "Wild Jim," who is the pest of the ranch. In despair, Pop goes to Bingo, where he places a sign on the post office, advertising for a new foreman. "Easy" Thompson, the star performer of the "Circle Bar Ranch" show, has had enough of circus life and resigns his job. "Easy" stops at the post office and reads Pop Lynd's sign, "Foreman wanted who can handle Wild Jim." He decides to tackle the job and asks the bystanders the way to Pop's ranch. At the ranch, "Wild Jim" is having another spree and Pop has a job on his hands. He tries to make Jim go to work but is knocked down for his intervention. Jim then attempts to caress Jess. At this moment "Easy" rides in, rescues Jess and knocks the bully down. Pop, encouraged by "Easy," discharges "Wild Jim." "Easy" gets the job as foreman, and, incidentally, falls in love with Jess. A few days later, "Wild Jim" sends a note to the cowboys of Bingo Gulch Ranch saying that he is on his way to "get" the new foreman. "Easy" sees the note and starts off alone to meet Jim. Pop and Jess, in terror for "Easy's safety, call all the cowboys and start off to save their new foreman from "Wild Jim." The rescuing party comes on "Easy" and "Wild Jim" near the Bingo post office. They find a very tame bully indeed. "Wild Jim" is wobbling along on "Easy's" bicycle, while "Easy" is nonchalantly riding along behind on Jim's horse. "Wild Jim" is sent away from Bingo on the bicycle, and "Easy," Jess and the cowboys ride back to the ranch. "Easy" shyly proposes to Jess and is accepted.
