In bringing a large sum of money from the local bank out to his team, with which to pay off his men, he unwittingly exposes it before the eyes of two bad frontier men, who at once plan to rob him. They ambush him at a canyon and tie him and his superintendent, the much-frightened count and his valet together and escape in their team. Two cowboys, looking up the canyon for stray cattle, overhear their cries, and come to the rescue of the distressed party. Upon hearing of their loss they start in pursuit, overtaking the robbers and recovering the money. Bradley is so gratified that the offers them a trip to New York at his expense, and they accept. They buy some very loud "college boy" clothes at the cow-town store, and thinking themselves quite properly dressed for the effected east, they descend upon Bradley and his astonished wife and daughters. That night at the reception they make a great sensation, attired in rented dress suits, and in an entirely breezy and good natured way they mortally affront the count, who is a suitor for Bradley's oldest daughter, and he demands satisfaction by duel. The girls beg the boys to have a mock duel and make him ridiculous and so get rid of him. This they do with the aid of Bradly and his friends, for they bring the count to the grounds in time to see them performing some marvelous feats with their six-shooter, and he realizing that to face either of them would be certain death, flies to that dear France. After some time in New York the boys wear off much of their western gaucherie and make good progress in the affections of the two girls. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
