Harold Vance is in love with Mary Noyes, at whose western ranch home he is a visitor. Jim Drake, an admirer of the girl, attacks Harold, and in the struggle shoots himself with his own pistol and then tells the sheriff that Harold shot him. Mary conceives the idea of dressing Harold in her aunt’s clothes and wig to enable him to escape. The sheriff enters and is introduced to Harold as “Miss Jones.” The sheriff is smitten. He courteously offers to drive “Miss Jones” to the station and a ludicrous situation arises when he proposes marriage to the supposed lady. Harold gets safely away. Drake recovers and admits the truth about the shooting. Then Harold returns, and the laugh is on the sheriff when he realizes that he made love to a man.
