While making a tour of the corral, Laura spies Tornado Jack, an awkward cowboy, afraid of nothing but a woman. Laura starts a mild flirtation with Jack. There is a lawn party and dance being held at Howard's ranch, across the desert that night, and Laura induced her uncle to let her invite Jack. Tornado receives the invitation with joy. His clothes are limited, but the cowboys see to that, each contributing some cherished article of wearing apparel to make complete the wonderful outfit with which they bedeck him; the fact is that it is ludicrous, but Jack is ignorant of this fact and goes to the dance anticipating the time of his life. Laura, with the aid of her friends, plays many pranks upon him, until at last, in shame and anger, he slips away. He hastily dons the clothes in which he feels "at home," and rides away to forget his bitter experience. Out in the desert he encounters his tormentors coming home in the family carryall, and putting a handkerchief over his face, he holds them up, with a pipe as a revolver. The fright of his tormentors satisfies his wounded pride and he allows them to proceed, continuing his way in the darkness. A turn in the road brings the carryall face to face with a couple of real bandits, who handle the already badly frightened party rather roughly. Jack hears their screams and wheels his horse and rides to the rescue, putting the bandits to flight after a fight in which he battles unarmed against two desperate gunmen. The next day those who have scorned and teased Jack come to praise his bravery, but with lofty manner and outraged pride, he ignores his former tormentors.
