On a dare, Keene agrees to ride Wild Fury, a horse that earlier injured one of Burns' best men and is badly hurt. But as Calgary (Harry Bowen) learns, Keene's gear has been sabotaged by the nasty Robert Frazer, the rodeo's resident star and Quillan's fiancé. Recovered in record time, the boy gets back in the saddle only to discover that he has lost his nerve.
