The sheriff, a brave and daring man, save in the face of danger, lays his heart at the Pearl's feet. The City Chap, tall, slim and elegantly powered, rides into the scene on his bicycle. The Pearl immediately falls for his charms. He teaches her to ride his bicycle and is entertained at her home with great ceremony. Meanwhile the jealous sheriff has found a newspaper clipping, which says the City Chap is a bicycle bandit who has deserted his wife and fourteen children. Triumphantly he takes this news to the Pearl, who hides the City Chap under the table. The Pearl doesn't believe it and drives the sheriff away, but in the City Chap's pocket she finds a picture of him with his wife and fourteen children. She forgives his perfidy and later he receives word that his wife has secured a divorce. They decide to be married and go to the saloon to say goodbye. The sheriff is broken-hearted, and as the happy couple mount a tiny donkey and go off on their honeymoon he blows out his brains. Written by
