    Storyline

    Edit
    Vicky Weathers arrives home at the B-O Ranch, after a long sojourn in the east. Her father sends Tom and Sid, two cowboys, to the train to meet her. Both boys fall in love with the beautiful girl. Each demands that the other stay in town while Vicky is driven home. Both become fierce rivals in the game of love and en route home each insists on doing his individual share in driving the horses, which very nearly precipitates a runaway. Tom secures an ancient ram and Sid a calf, and they practice marriage proposals, not knowing that Vicky, her father and the other cowboys form a hidden audience which greatly enjoys the performance. Finally each resolves to capture Vicky in any event, and they engage in a roping contest. Tom ropes the girl and receives nothing but a scolding for his pains. Sid believes he has won her hand, but soon discovers that she will have nothing to do with him either. The two cowboys finally determine that all women are fickle. —Moving Picture World synopsis
