An ad inserted by Bill Saddle in a matrimonial paper, gives Ida a ray of hope. She answers the ad, enclosing Mrs. Needham's photo in her letter. Bill promptly loses his heart when he sees this picture. He leaves for the city. Meeting the original of the photo on the street. Bill follows Mrs. Needham home. In the meantime, Slippery Bill, a second-story man, breaks into the house. Hearing someone coming, the man hides behind the portieres. Saddle enters the house and is confronted by Ida. Although Ida protests that it was she who wrote the answer to his ad, the rancher demands to see the original of the picture in his possession. Hearing Mrs. Needham coming, Ida thrusts Saddle into a closet and locks the door. But the man raises such a rumpus that Mrs. Needham opens the door to ascertain the cause. The sight of the stranger who had followed her home affords the woman the fright of her life. Mr. Needham enters the house. In his desire to hide, Saddle approaches Slippery Bill's place of concealment. An inspiration seizes the rancher. As a Justice of the Peace, he is empowered to perform the marriage ceremony. Seizing Slippery Bill and Ida, he joins their hands and makes them one just as Mr. Needham enters the room. While Ida's employers are busy offering their congratulations, Saddle makes his escape. Once out of the house, he tears up Mrs. Needham's photograph and the matrimonial sheet. Raising his right hand, he vows. "Never Again." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
