Hank Wilson, a good-natured cow puncher, loves a rancher's daughter, and finally musters up courage enough to make known his love. She looks upon the matter as a joke, and coquettishly furnishes him considerable annoyance. When at last, by means of his lariat she confronts the custodian of peace, the sheriff, to be sure of his fee, ties Hank to the railing. At this moment his promised bride runs quickly for the open. Hank failed to untie himself and accordingly stampedes, and soon disappears, rope, railing and all. Nothing seems to daunt the determined lover. He confronts the father, who is in sympathy with him. A little game of strategy is resorted to, which proves that love ofttimes is forced to the surface through trying circumstances.
