Mrs. Kelly runs a hoarding-house in the western foothills, having principally as her clientele the cowpunchers that work thereabouts, she meets with no end of trouble in securing a suitable cook that matrimonial proof, as the moment a fair queen of the pot and pan arrives she is besieged by the boarders, and invariably Cupid gets his work in. Finally Mrs. Kelly, growing desperate, sends to the city for a Chinese cook. This enrages the boarders, and when the cook arrives he is made to do a few hurried stunts to the tune of the six-shooter, and he likewise exits almost as gracefully as he entered. About this time an out-and-out city girl writes she would accept the place, loudly denouncing Cupid and his darts. She arrives; the enemy reconnoiters the situation; she meets their proposals with scorn and derision, drives them away. But on second thought she decides Big Bill Parsons is her affinity, and again the trouble is rampant. Then, lo he came, a busted actor. "Can you cook?" says Mrs. Kelly. He did, trouble brewing on every hand. To save the day Mrs. Kelly marries her new cook.
