Mrs. St. John, an Eastern society woman, and her daughter are visiting in the West. One day the daughter, Anna, sees Ted Allen, a cattle king. There is mutual attraction between the two and Ted resolves to make the girl’s acquaintance. The mother’s susceptibilities are wounded by the rough way of the westerners and she disdainfully passes Allen by. Later, at the hotel, Anna sees Ted passing and hears one of the loungers remark that he is the richest man in that part of the country. At length Ted and Anna are married and leave for the east. At one of the receptions Bryson, one of Anna’s old admirers, tries to again interest her in himself. Ted’s mother-in-law contrasts the polished manners of Bryson with the rough and ready way of the westerner, and the latter suffers in the comparison. Anna’s brother, Bob, arrives from college and there is a strong liking between him and Ted from the start. In celebrating Bob’s return Ted makes his first big “stampede” into society and Mrs. St. John is horrified at his manners. Ted wanders into the conservatory and hears Bryson tell his wife that she has been sold to a wealthy man and her life will be ruined. Ted is dejected and is packing his clothes to leave when his brother-in-law comes upon him and promises to teach him the artificialities of society. Anna, meanwhile, has resented Bryson’s remarks and ordered him to leave the house. Ted has written the boys at the ranch a discouraging letter, which is the source of much worry to them. Under Bob’s training Ted has progressed wonderfully, and one day at the club he hears Bryson make a remark about his wife. He shakes Bryson like a rat and tells him that the next time he will use more drastic measures. Ted’s progress has been a secret, and even his wife is ignorant of the change. Ted sees a chance to make a good deal in cattle which will necessitate a trip to London. After a most successful trip, he wires Home that he will be there soon and to have a big party to celebrate his success. Even Anna is a little dubious over the appearance her husband will make, but nevertheless makes preparations for a happy homecoming. Ted arrives and, to the astonishment of all, conducts himself like an English lord. He proves to be the lion of the hour, and his wife is forgotten, while all give attention to Ted. That night after the guests have left Anna leads her husband upstairs, and, taking him over to a crib, lifts out a baby. He is aghast, and when the wife lifts out the other twin he nearly faints. He takes his wife in his arms, and as the four heads come together the picture fades.
