Millie arrives in the old stage coach during a downpour of rain, but that doesn't in the least dampen the ardor of the cowboys. Among them is bashful Joe, who falls head over heels in love with Millie, but is too timid to tell her so. He does muster up courage enough, however, to write her a note confessing his love, begging her to meet him at a given hour and signs himself, "A Cowboy Admirer." The girl, inclined to be romantic, writes an agreeable note in reply, requesting her unknown cowboy admirer to wear a daisy in order that she may distinguish him from the others. By some hook or crook this epistle does not reach bashful Joe, but instead, falls into the bands of the rest of the cowboys. They surmise for whom the message is intended and see an opportunity to have some fun at Joe's expense. The next day each one provides himself with a daisy and one after another appear at the trysting place to the utter consternation of Millie, who suddenly finds herself in a very uncomfortable and yet most laughable predicament. Her discomfiture and final breakaway give the boys no end of amusement. The laugh is on bashful Joe, who at the very moment of all this hilarity, is contemplating the easiest mode of suicide in a secluded spot in the woods. But Fate ordains it differently, for Millie happens by chance to come upon him at the vital moment. Explanations follow which prove that they secretly admired each other for some time. Joe now boldly declares his love for her and is accepted. Joyfully they hasten to her uncle's house to announce the engagement, and thus the laugh is turned on the rest of the boys.
