Consequently, when a sleek looking tenderfoot asked to become a boarder at the "Flying B" Margie favored him, though her father was suspicious. Margie is soon smitten with the stranger, much to the chagrin of Jack, the foreman, with whom Margie had previously been very friendly. Jack does not get ugly over the matter, but keeps his eyes open. He knows that the sheriff is out for "Texas Ed," a desperado, and he soon observes that the sleek tenderfoot keeps a villainous supply of hardware under his bed tick. Finally the day for cattle shipping comes, and all know that there will be a liberal supply of money at the ranch house after the sale. The tenderfoot now becomes even more tender than before. The cattle are rounded up and shipped, and Margie's father deposits the money in the old family chest. The tenderfoot, who sits up late to read an innocent novel, observes this, and is soon giving mysterious signals from a certain window. Jack is watching, however, and just as a desperate gang thinks it has the ranch held up, Jack and the punchers are on the job with big guns; and after some exciting moments the tenderfoot is revealed as "Texas Ed," the bandit, and snake in the grass. It is needless to say that Margie has learned her lesson and takes immediate steps to square herself with Foreman Jack. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
