Young Herbert Lake, president of a local bank and an unscrupulous fellow, is also in love with the girl. To complicate matters, Johnny Dines, the good pal and firm friend of Jeff Bransford, has lost his heart to Eleanor also. A masquerade ball is given and on a dare from Eleanor, Jeff attends uninvited in a football costume. That same night Lake steals back to his bank from the masquerade party and steals a large sum of money which had been left in his care. To avoid suspicion and implicate Jeff, he places the football nose-guard, which the cowboy had worn, outside the safe. Making his exit, he encounters a watchman whom he shoots and mortally injures. Soon after the crime is discovered, the nose-guard is found. Jeff is accused and brought to trial. In court his friends pave the way for an escape. He flees to the mountains. Johnny Dines and his friends set themselves to the task of clearing Bransford. Adventures follow. Jeff experiences many narrow escapes, but finally reaches the border disguised as an old miner. He is accompanied on this trip and aided by a strange young fellow who has proven to be a staunch friend. On separating with him at the border, Bransford gives him a miniature horse which Eleanor had given him some time before. Meanwhile Johnny and his pals have traced the crime to Lake. Dines brings the news to Jeff. To test Eleanor's love, Jeff returns disguised by a beard which he has grown. At a party given by Eleanor, he is to take part in the entertainment and shaves off his beard, substituting a false one. He appears in the football costume worn at the masquerade and Eleanor, thinking Jeff has returned, dresses in the clothes she wore when accompanying him to the border, for it was she who had disguised herself as a man in order to be with Bransford. Jeff is overjoyed at seeing the young fellow who had saved him; revelations come thick and fast and Jeff Bransford, his name cleared and possessed of a fortune which he has struck in the mines, claims the pretty city girl as his own.
