Wesley Judell, as a missionary, finds a futile but puzzling field for work in the far, wild west.
Wesley Judell, as a missionary, finds a futile but puzzling field for work in the far, wild west. In the temporal rush and struggle for existence, spiritual affairs are not as deeply pondered as he would wish, and life seems cheap and feverish. He has a wide territory to cover in his parish rounds, and in his absence his comely daughter, Winona, looks after the shack which serves for a parsonage. She converts Kill Kullen, who has wandered from the straight and narrow path, but despite this dereliction, he is the straightest shot in that section. The young people fall in love with each other, and the firm, fearless, yet gentle Winona succeeds in thoroughly reforming the redoubtable Kill Kullen. The missionary objects to this marriage, but she persists. She gives him spiritual advice, while he, in return, instructs her in riding and shooting. By following the up-lift plan, he secures a good position, and is a useful member of the community. Her good old father in time relents and consents, so all ends well, through the interchange of religion and gun practice.
