When a shoe came off his horse's foot Fred hastened to the blacksmith shop, and it was there that he met Lillian, the smith's daughter. Before he left she managed to slip into his pocket a horse shoe, the symbol of good luck. Fred later finds the horse shoe. As is customary he hangs it over his door. Later he again comes to town and from the express office gets a package of money. Homeward bound, he sees Lillian about to enter her house. In an attempt to become better acquainted with her, Fred feigns illness. He is taken into her home, where mustard plasters and bitter bills fall to his lot. The package of money falls from his pocket. Lillian picks it up. He tells her to keep it until he is better. Charlie, a ne'er do well, a friend of Jay, the blacksmith's assistant, eyes the money longingly. He confides to Jay about the ranchman's money and when an hour later, Fred has recovered and started back to his ranch, they go after him. Charlie with thoughts of the money, but Jay thinking only of beating up his rival. They arrive at the ranch and hold up Fred. But Fred has forgotten the money. Lillian rides after him with it. She hears angry voices in the ranch house. Peering in she sees Jay and Charlie viciously attacking Fred. Then the horse shoe over the door catches her eye. She snatches it up, dashes in the door and orders "Hand up." Taken off their guard, Jay and Charlie comply. They see through the ruse and turn again to Fred, only to find themselves covered with a six-shooter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
