Bob is in love with Lela, the daughter of the boss of the ranch. The boys wrap a photograph of a lovely person in pink tights and suitably inscribed, in a lady's stocking and put it into Bob's pocket. He pulls it out at the wrong moment, and there is trouble, of course. Pa Gibson discovers an ad in a newspaper, stating that matrimonial agents are in town and willing to provide mates for all. The boys visit the agency and find it is being run by two charming girls. They tell the girls that Bob is on the lookout for a wife. The Bachelors' Club downtown sees the ad and put their heads together. Bob is about to patch up matters with Lela when a procession winds up the ranch road consisting of all sorts and conditions of women, who show Bob's advertisement. He flees, is pursued, and is joined by Lela, who is indignant at the joke played upon her boy. They meet Pa Gibson, commandeer his buggy, drive to a minister's and are married. They return to the ranch and find the determined husband seekers sitting down to await Bob's appearance. When they learn he is married they swoop down upon the matrimonial agency in a body. The Bachelors' Club is interested, and the minister has his hands full of couples demanding to be married. Shorty and Lee, cowboys, arrive at the agency and find the two pretty agents counting their fees. The girls find the boys good to look upon and tell them to be at the station with pink carnations in their buttonholes, to meet two girls similarly decorated. Shorty and Lee are surprised and satisfied to find that the girls have apportioned themselves to them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
