Mr. Weston has told Bob that he will not agree to their marriage until his herd of cattle equals his own. In the spirit of fun, Sunny procures a bottle of branding acid and puts Bob's initials on an equal division of her father's herd. Wilson, a rival for Sunny's love, seeing Bob's initials on Weston's cattle, decides to put him in wrong, hastens to the sheriff and accuses Bob. Bob, who has come up with him, overhears his accusation, and denies it. A struggle ensues, Bob's pistol is discharged and Wilson is shot in the wrist. The sheriff and his posse go in pursuit of Bob, who fled after the shooting. Sunny hears of this and decides to go to Bob's assistance. The sheriff and his posse lay in wait for Bob, expecting him to come that way. Sunny, who has reached this point, with the same expectation, forces a way through the bushes, following the trail of the posse. She is heard by the sheriff and his men and they, supposing it to be Bob, discharge their pistols into the brush. They rush forward, hoping to arrest their man. They are greatly surprised to find Sunny. They carry her home to her father, who sets about making an investigation of the false branding of his stock. Wilson, who is standing upon the stoop outside the house accidentally discovers the empty bottle which contained the acid, under the steps, where Sunny had hidden it. She makes a clean breast of it to her father and tells him that she did it because she loves Bob; hoping to secure his consent to their marriage. Matters explained, Mr. Weston is convinced that it would be foolish to interpose his objections longer and at once agrees to their marriage and gives them his blessing.
