A wealthy oil man, José Vegas, orders his son, Richard, shipped west in a boxcar after the boy shows considerably more interest in athletics than in business.

Dick eventually brings to justice one of Don Manuel's heirs, García, after he attempts to discover the location of the family fortune by force and cunning. Richard wins the love of Don Manuel's niece, Marquita. (official distributor synopsis)
