An Eastern Westerner
A young New Yorker is the bane of his Christian parents' existence because of his constant carousing and partying at all hours, so his father decides to send him to live at his uncle's ranch in Piute Pass in the Wild West to get him away from the New York temptations that led to this unwanted behavior. Before he even gets to the ranch, the young man gets into one misadventure after another using his New York sensibilities in Piute Pass. His primary misadventure involves a sweet young ingénue with whom he falls in love at first sight, which is mutual. Her father is being held captive by "Tiger Lip" Tompkins, who owns half the county and bullies the rest with his band, the Masked Angels; the ransom is her womanly favors to him. The young man tries to help free the father so that the young man and the ingénue can live happily ever after together, which does not sit well with Tiger Lip and the Masked Angels. Written by Huggo
