Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] cowboy Chip Bennett of the Whitmore ranch is an amateur cartoonist but has a dread of women. However, he soon has a change of heart when he falls in love with pretty Doctor Della Whitmore, the sister of the ranch owner. His rival for her is rancher Duncan Whittaker. Della sends a sketch by Chip to a magazine, where it wins a prize. He fakes having an accident and she nurses him, but they quarrel when she discovers that he is not hurt. Chip, who is uninvited, attends a dance given by Whittaker and is then ordered to leave. He goes but carries off Della, who is perfectly willing to be abducted, and they drive to the parson to be wed.
