When the guardian of the imperial seal is killed and the seal is stolen, the guardian's daughter sends word to her brother, a former guard and current cowboy in America.
The cowboy and his partner travel to England to join his sister to retrieve the seal and avenge the guardian.
They discover that the killer and thief is a member of the royal family who intends to kill everyone ahead of him in line for the throne.
The cowboy enlists the help of a Scotland yard inspector.
Together, the good guys recover the seal. Then, they deal with the killer's henchman and thwart his plan. They kill the killer and save the royal family.
Grateful, the queen knights the cowboy, his partner and the inspector.
