Unfortunately, the father is not at all disposed to welcome any addition to his party and. to say the least, receives the young men coldly. The girls, however, are more willing, and put it in the way of the young men to learn that they propose a trip through the Garden of the Gods. The three young men get ahead of the party and proceed to hire all the available burros, thus forcing the father to at least meet them on halfway friendly terms. We then follow the party through some of the most magnificent scenery in the world, finally reaching Steamboat Rock, from which are seen, through a telescope, the curious formations of rock which have been classified respectively as "the kissing couple," "the seal and the bear," "the lion," "the buffalo," and "the Scotchman." During this trip father, whose burro is particularly obstinate, gets very far behind and reaches Steamboat Rock after the rest of the party has left. In anger he starts to follow them home, but in crossing a stream his small animal absolutely refuses to be guided and the old gentleman is precipitated, with a very bad fall, into the bottom of the brook. In the meantime the party has arrived home, and it occurs to each one of the young men individually, that it would be a very nice thing to present one of the girls with a small burro. Thus they dash off separately, each bringing back one of the little animals, hardly larger than a good sized dog. As the gifts are being presented with due ceremony, father appears, very hot, his clothing very much in disorder and extremely angry. The young men are immediately ordered about their business and the girls taken into the house. The picture closes with a view of the three young men looking at each other in consternation and, as a totally unexpected transformation, fades into a view of three small burros.
