Rex is left behind to enjoy the roof-garden performances and the comforts of his club, which is much more to his taste than roughing it on a ranch with a girl whom he is marrying only because his aunt insists and wields the ever effective club of disinheritance. But soon there comes a hurry call from the ranch. Alice has taken more than a decided liking to Donald Barton, who returns her interest compounded. Until Alice came Don was entirely content to be engaged to Bessie Bowman, daughter of the owner of Lazy K and pretty Bessie joins forces with Mrs. Pemberton-Pomeroy to win her sweetheart back. Rex answers the summons promptly, as is wise in an heir presumptive, but he finds Bessie decidedly interesting and proposes that they start a mild flirtation and by rousing Don's jealousy win him back for her. In hundreds of romances the scheme has worked most successfully but this time they who play with fire are burned and Rex and Bessie find themselves very much in love with each other. Rex, recklessly forgetful of the masterful Mrs. Pemberton-Pomeroy, urges Bessie to break her engagement to Don but she tearfully refuses though she admits that she loves only Rex. Don, on his part, has been having no easy time of it for Alice will not return to Rex the ring that marks her betrothal. It seems to be up to somebody to do something so Don and Rex get busy. Rex challenges Don to a duel and with saddened faces the rivals stalk past the girls and Mrs. Pemberton-Pomeroy. Don lets drop the challenge and Bessie finds it. Wild with terror she shows it to the others and they hurry after the combatants. Mrs. Pemberton-Pomeroy is not built on the lines of a cross country runner but she makes pretty good time though the two boys get a little tired of waiting before they hear the bulky lady crashing through the brush. As the trio come upon the field of combat the men are facing each other with upraised guns. Bessie runs to shield Rex and Alice hurries to Don. Mrs. Pemberton-Pomeroy throws up her hands in resignation over the first situation she ever lost control of and her anger is not greatly cooled by the fans contained in the trick pistols with which the mock duel was fought.
