According to Hoyle

The plot follows 'Boxcar' Simmons, a tramp who convinces a small town that he is a mining millionaire. The townsfolk accept his self-proclaimed status, leading to comedic scenarios where two local con artists attempt to exploit him for his supposed wealth. Their main scheme involves selling him a worthless ranch, but Simmons cleverly turns the tables by making them believe it is rich in silver ore.

The film not only showcases the antics of Simmons but also includes a romantic subplot where he ultimately presents the proceeds of the ranch to the girl he loves. This comedic take on wealth and deception offers a glimpse into the humor of the 1920s, making it a notable film of its era.
