Synopsis: [From The Moving Picture World]? The “Bar B” ranch is up against it good and hard. Three cooks in succession have left and each cook has taken a susceptible cowboy home with her. The ranchman puts down his foot, saying no more women cooks for “Bar B.” Emily is young and sweet and awfully hard up. She applies but is informed that her sex is against her. Passing a second-hand store she resolves that a little thing like that shall not interfere, so she buys a perfectly charming cowboy outfit, returns to the agency and gets the job. The boss is so pleased that he insists upon Emily joining him with one of his best and blackest cigars. She does so and experiences the worst symptoms of sea-sickness. The rancher’s daughter and her chum come to the ranch and all the boys fall in love with them. The girls fall in love with that “pretty boy cook,” and when they insist upon visiting the kitchen with the untruthful assertion that they want to make candy, the boys look black and when they take a peep through the kitchen door and sees the cook in the arms of the two girls their wrath breaks loose. They do not know that she has cut her finger and that the sight of blood has caused her to faint, or that the girls have sought to give her air and that it has been necessary for Emily to confess to the girls. Emily runs the gauntlet and is finally forced to don the boxing gloves. The boys are astonished when the cook weeps on the daughter's shoulder when she receives a tap on the nose. When she takes her cap off and her hair falls down, she gives them a brief but sufficient idea of how she regards them. Jim with a horror for boy-baiting has held aloof, and he and Emily keep up the old ranch traditions and get married.
