She is a vinegary old maid with a sour disposition and a hatred of mankind. Her lovely young niece, Betty, has a sweetheart, Billy, but Flora catches them at it and belabors Billy with her parasol until he flees, leaving Betty in tears. Flora has a brother on a western ranch. His foreman is a woman hater, and thinks all females are "pizen." The brother writes for Flora to visit him on the ranch for a month, and sends the angry woman-hater to haul her from the station. With her pet dog, cat and parrot, Flora arrives at the station trimmed like a Christmas tree. She lays down the law to the woman-hater. A band of drunken Indians stop them on the road to hold them up, but the valor of the woman-hater, together with the strategy of the man-hater, force the Indians to flee in terror. Flora binds up the scratches and bruises of the woman-hater, and it does not take them long to find out that love is the best thing after all. Flora telegraphs Betty and her sweetheart her permission to wed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
