The Keystone Kid comes all the way from Pennsylvania to be a cowboy dressed in a new Western outfit. He became the butt of some jokes at the local bar and made no attempt to fight back against the bully who decided to make a show of it. That day is how he got his name "Keystone Kid" and his reputation as a coward. He made one friend who showed him the ropes and ways of a cowhand and when the time finally came to prove himself, he had to stand alone and his life depended on it.
