In early gold rush days a rough but kindly miner known as Kicking Tom gains fame for prowess in a brutal contest with a vicious burro named a jackass. After a deadly exchange of kicks the animal dies and Tom, though bruised, remains spry. The camp holds a funeral for the beast and commemorates Tom's bold display.
