At a western hotel the heiress becomes bored by resort life, and becomes heartily sick of fortune seekers who have learned of her large bank roll and would marry it. But, not averse to marriage she devises a novel plan to find a man worthwhile. Advertising for a position as governess she obtains employment in the Fletcher home on a ranch. One of her daily duties is to accompany Doris Fletcher horseback riding, and on many occasions they have taken particular notice of John Scott, a woodman, whose gallantry appealed to them. After exchanging the usual pleasantries with him one morning the girls ride on, only to be attacked by highwaymen. Doris is overcome while Ann shouts for help. John comes and the highwaymen flee. He carries Doris into his humble cottage and administers what aid he can. Meanwhile some of the cowboys have heard the cry and question Anne. She tells of the attack, and they hasten in the direction the bandits took. John knowing well what they meant to do, hastens after them and arrives in time to prevent the mob from taking the law into its own hands by lynching the culprits. He holds the mob at bay with his revolver until the arrival of the sheriff and his men. Ann hears and knows that here at last is a man worthwhile. A month later John has learned to love and propose to Anne. After the marriage he takes her to his little cabin expecting to enjoy the rest of his days there, but Anne tells of her great wealth and of her search for a man worthwhile, that led her to deceive in order to win, to "stoop to conquer."
