Seeking refuge in a side door pullman, Pokes falls asleep, little knowing that his train de luxe is bound for Cyclone Gulch, miles away in the desert. Here Jabbs, the local sheriff, realizing the need of a loving female to mend his socks and sew a few buttons on his shirts, advertises for a wife. The "ad" catches the eye of Flossie Footlights. Flossie, knowing that the early bird catches the worm, burns up the road in getting out to Cyclone Gulch to land the lonesome sheriff. Pokes has been hired by Jabbs as a cowpuncher and when Flossie breezes into the Gulch. Pokes immediately poses as the sheriff and makes a rapid play for the erstwhile Broadway chicken. Jabbs, learning of the deception, wrathfully confronts the artful Pokes, but in the fight that follows Pokes, by a trick, sends the sheriff on a "flying" trip to dreamland. After securing the sheriff's badge from the vanquished opponent, Pokes receives from Flossie all the adulation due a conquering hero. Later, however, Jabbs, posing as a real old-time bad man, meets with Pokes just as the latter is feasting on the plaudits of the townspeople gathered in the local dance hall. Caught at a disadvantage and his wits refusing to come to his assistance, Pokes seeks safety in putting as much distance as possible between himself and Jabbs. At the station Pokes comes face to face with his irate spouse, who, having learned of Pokes' whereabouts, has come in search of him. When Mrs. Pokes learns from Jabbs of her husband's flirtation with Flossie she sets out to finish in her own manner the task Jabbs had begun. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
