New York financier Stuveysant Brown purchases an immense tract of unimproved land in Southern California. His agent in Los Angeles informs him that there is a Mexican claimant to the property, and advises Brown to place an able-bodied man upon the land to protect it and further secure title. Brown decides to send his son, a gay young blood, who has been trying to break the foolish record in New York society. Young Brown arrives in Los Angeles and is taken in charge by deputies of the agent and started in an auto toward the ranch. On the way there he picks up a 10-year-old Mexican girl he thinks has lost her way; he puts her beside him in the auto and drives to the ranch. A friend of her Mexican foster father sees and reports this. Young Brown finds himself in a humorous and yet serious difficulty. But the little girl happens to be the Mexican claimant and of course grows up into a beautiful young woman.
