- Our friend, Bill Smith, a cowpuncher, in the employ of Jim Parsons, a gruff old rancher, is stung by Cupid's arrow succumbing this time to the irresistible smile of Nell Parsons, the ranchman's daughter. After a short courtship, pretty Nell is won, as far as she is concerned, but when Bill starts to put the ring on her finger, she doubtfully waves it aside referring him first to the lord of her household, her father. Jim is a rough old aristocrat and guards his daughter with jealous pride. "She's fit for a king, and no one else will have her," Jim has remarked from time to time, and when Bill and his sweetheart brace him on the subject, Jim turns from the farm implement he is tinkering with and kicks Bill off the premises. The young lovers try all means to win the old gentleman, but their meetings are invariably frustrated. On one occasion Bill sends a note to Nell to meet him at a certain place, which is intercepted by Jim, who gives the youth another thrashing and himself waits for his daughter. When she arrives he surprises her and leads her back to the house by the ear. The two lovers are unanimous in their opinion that Dad is an old reprobate who needs a lesson. They must win him by foul means or fair and Bill, being of inventive turn of mind, concocts an excellent plan. He enlists two of his inseparable comrades and instructs them to mask themselves, waylay the old gentleman on his way to town and after giving him a good scare, he will dash up, disperse the robbers and thus win the affections and admiration of his reluctant prospective father-in-law. The scheme works well and turns out just like a fairy story. Dad is won over and agrees to the marriage, notwithstanding the fact that the two cowpunchers, who posed as murderous brigands, in an effort to get their guns returned to them, interview old Jim and lay bare the secret.—Moving Picture World synopsis
