He is to give her all assistance possible as to purchasing a suitable ranch. Edythe arrives. Several weeks pass. She decides on a ranch and Fred makes arrangements for its owner to be out at the place that afternoon. Edythe, who is somewhat a ventriloquist, imitates the sound of a rattlesnake and gives Fred a bad scare. Two crooks, recently released from jail, have sworn to "get" Fred, who, they claim, railroaded them. They have taken up their abode at the deserted ranch that Edythe has chosen. A holdup occurs. The victim rides in for the sheriff. Fred and Edythe arrive at the ranch. While waiting, he proposes to her, but is rejected. Fred decides to ride down to the nearest ranch house and again 'phone to the ranch owner, which he does. The two crooks return to the shack. Edythe, terrified, takes refuge in the closet. Fred returns and the two crooks find that they have in their power the man they have sworn to "get." About to shoot him, Edythe, in the closet, has a sudden inspiration. She imitates the sizz of a rattlesnake. When the two crooks jump, she emerges and gains the upper hand. The sheriff and his posse appear. The ranch owner also appears. The sale is concluded. Fred, looking over the deed, discovers that it has been made out in his name. He soon knows the reason why. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
