They send for one, and Mary Turner, a good-looking young schoolmarm, arrives. The Sheriff's little son Buddy has a great fondness for guns and is forever getting hold of his father's heavy-calibered rifle and marching around with it. His father solemnly warns him that the next time he touches it, he will get spanked. The Sheriff is greatly taken with the new teacher, as is Carter, a gambler and shady character of the town who tries to force his attentions upon her. She repulses him and Bill protects her. Carter loses heavily at gambling and holds up the stage. He is recognized when his mask becomes loosened and is obliged to take to the hills. Sheriff Bill and a posse start out after him and Buddy is greatly excited. He cannot resist watching them from the schoolroom window and causes Mary so much annoyance she sends him home. Despite his father's warning, Buddy gets the big gun from the wall, and starts off "man-hunting.'' Carter, in the meantime, has doubled back on his trail and enters the school building. He goes up to Mary and seizes her arm. She screams and Sonny, going by, hears it. He goes in and orders the desperado to throw up his hands. Seeing the boy means business, Carter obeys. Mary calls for help and the posse returning to town, having lost the trail, rush inside and capture the villain. Buddy, notwithstanding his brave action, gets his spanking just the same, and disgustedly decides to run away. Meeting Mary, he tells her, "Heroes aren't appreciated around here. I'm going away and then they'll all be sorry." She is talking soothingly to him when Sheriff Bill comes up, repentant for being so harsh with the boy. Buddy is prevailed upon to forgive his father and they shake hands. Mary kisses Buddy, and to her embarrassment, he suggests she kiss Papa, too. The Sheriff and Mary look at each other, and as they all turn homeward, he puts an arm around Mary's waist, and all feel sure that Buddy will have a lovely stepmother.
