The girl's mother has social ambitions and compels the father and the girl to move to the city. The girl, enraptured over the prospects of seeing things, refuses to marry her sweetheart and goes with her parents to the city and meets with a man-about-town. He proposes and she accepts. The cowboy misses his playmate, and his father finding him in the corral deep in thought tells his son to go get the girl and bring her home. The boy goes to the city, where he finds that the girl has absorbed the artificial stimulus caused by environment. He starts to return to the station to go back home, when he runs across the man-about-town, who is under the influence of liquor and showing his sweetheart's picture to a pal, bragging over his conquest. The cowboy promptly takes the picture from him and knocks him down; returns to the home of the girl and tells her father the conditions. The boy enters the sitting room, finds the mother and daughter drinking tea, and tells the girl he wants her to go back with him, but she refuses. He then, for the first time in his life, clasps her in his arms and by force takes a real lover's kiss. The girl then realizes that she has loved him all the time and against her mother's protests, puts on her things and goes with him. They pick up her father and take him back to the mountains where the friends meet them and they are married the minute the train reaches the mountain station. Written by
