The case is dismissed, but his reputation as a gunman causes him to be made to leave the state. He sets out for Tombstone Flat, a small Western town. Parson Brown and his daughter, Betty, are in the same stage. They become friends. Tombstone Flat does not intend to be reformed. As the Marshal, Bill Tait, owns the only saloon in town, he persuades the boys to send the Parson back on the same stage in which he came. Larry, however, thinks otherwise. He goes to the Mayor who is playing poker, tells him his Marshal is no good, and gets him to give him a note to Bill, saying that he is appointed in Bill's place. They all expect that Larry will be beaten, but he is quicker on the draw, wounds the Deputy in the arm with his gun, and holds up Bill, forcing him to give him his badge. Larry locks the two up in jail, and when the Mayor and his friends go to the saloon to rejoice with Bill, they find a prayer meeting in full progress, with Larry leading the singing with his gun for a baton.
