She, heartily sick of their attentions, answers the advertisement of "a rugged young gentleman" in the east, who "yearns for a life in the open" and wants a wife. The two rivals join forces to "fix" the newcomer. They hire a pair of fierce bandits, at large in the hills, to kill "the rugged young gentleman" in return for a bag of gold dust. When, however, the cook and the foreman see Belle's prospective husband alight from the train, they decide to save their gold dust and do the job themselves. "The Insect," alias "Bill, the rugged young gentleman," obediently mounts the horse which Belle leads up, and about thirty seconds later, is clinging desperately to the saddle horn while the flying animal bears him over the plains. At last the girl succeeds in stopping the runaway. "We modern ranchmen use automobiles," explains the young man from the east. And the girl smiles at him in admiration. Meanwhile, the bandits have discovered that they have been done out of their job. They are driving the cook and the foreman before them, bound and helpless, when, snap, the ropes about the wrists of the rivals are severed in twain. The bandits turn to fight their unseen foe. Wiff, off goes the hat of the sheriff, on the trail of the bandits. Angry, he wheels about and runs right into his quarry. The hero of the wobbly gun and closed eyes rides up with the ranch owner's daughter. "I shot off your hat, sheriff," he announced cheerfully, "to attract your attention to my prisoners." And he gets away with it. Belle marries her hero. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
