'If Only' Jim

“Here's a wide open Western picture that will make you giggle and gasp- it's the actionful story of an easy going bachelor-father who had to fight a whole town to prove his right to love.”

Gold miner Jim Golden is in love with Miss Dot, the local postmistress, but he has a reputation for being somewhat lazy and shiftless. One day he finds a baby that had been abandoned by local Indians, adopts it, and begins to work his claim again. Parky, a local thief and swindler, finds out that Jim has finally struck gold, and schemes to trick Jim out of his claim and kidnap Miss Dot while he's at it.
