Ike is caught in the act of making love to Susie, the ranchman's daughter. He is kicked from the house with instructions to remain in the cowboy's quarters. Later Ike receives a letter from his mother informing him that his father has died and left her fifty thousand dollars in debt. After reading the letter Ike tears it in half and drops half of it accidentally on the ground. Part of the letter is found by Susie's father. Thinking that Ike is rich the old man decides to have Susie and Ike get married. They arrange to live in the house, and Ike is more than surprised when the old man tells him that he is going to take him to town and buy him a new suit. While the pair are gone, an old lady, looking for another ranch, arrives and is mistaken for Ike's mother. When Ike returns from town and goes to his room he finds some woman's clothes. Susie, by mistake, has placed the clothes of Ike's supposed mother there. As a joke Ike puts on the night cap and gown and plunges into bed just as Susie comes in. Susie imagines the old lady is sick and proceeds to administer castor oil. Many amusing incidents follow, ending up when Ike is discovered and captured after a chase and made to confess that he is fifty thousand dollars in debt instead of being rich. The old man pulls the night cap over Ike's head and holds him under the pump while the old lady pumps a stream of water on his head.
