Pearl is stopping at the only hotel in a western town. Jack and Joe meet her and she flirts with first one and then the other. Each tries to hide the fact of his flirtation from the other. Accidentally they both call on Pearl at the same time, only to find her very much taken up with Chester, a city drummer. Jack and Joe throw Chester out of the hotel, and then leave Pearl, vowing never to see her again, but each tries to steal a march on the other, and visits her again, but she will have none of them, having again taken up with the smart city drummer.
