Eddie has a weakness for liquor; Ann's aware and tries to guard against it. Absolutely fearless and of a determined nature, she at one time enters the saloon and almost drags him out. The same evening, Eddie's thirst returns and he sneaks out and rejoins his companions. He remains until the closing hour and, stupefied from his evening's carouse, dozes on the porch outside. Shortly after midnight, the saloonkeeper is robbed by a couple of desperadoes. He is awakened by their knocking over a chair and Eddie is also roused. The two robbers make their escape, and as Eddie rises to his feet, the proprietor, thinking him one of the thieves, fires at him. He rushes home, pursued by the proprietor. Ann tells them both she will settle the matter. Next morning the sheriff serves a warrant upon Eddie and takes him to jail. Ann starts out on the trail of the bandits and locates them in an isolated shack. At a favorable moment she seizes a revolver from one of the men and forces them towards the door. An unexpected diversion occurs, giving them an opportunity to wrest the gun away from her. She is strong as a lion, but they soon get the upper hand and only the sheriff's timely arrival prevents a serious result. The rascals are led off to jail, Eddie is freed, and the sheriff asks Ann if she will marry him. She assents and "Ann the Blacksmith" becomes "Ann the Sheriff's Wife."
