When Ruth returns to the Bar "G" ranch after acquiring eastern polish, she chides the boys for chewing tobacco, cussing and smoking cigarettes. When Tom, the foreman, orders the boys out on the range to round up cattle they are pleased, for they are anxious to be away from Ruth's constant admonitions. Out on the range the cook becomes warmed with wine, is discharged, and in revenge puts his pipe and tobacco in the coffee pot. Tom sends a cowboy to the ranch and asks Ruth to find another cook for them. Ruth resolves to impersonate a French cook. She calls on Tom at the ranch in male attire. Starting in on her new duties, she makes a pan of fudge instead of cooking dinner. The boys are infuriated and are about to drive the French cook from the camp when she makes her identity known to Tom. Ruth is so attractive that Tom proposes on the spot and is accepted.
