Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dan Clark, a middle-aged ranchman, has an unfortunate habit of occasionally taking a drop too much, and calls on his old sweetheart when overprimed with fuel oil. She is strictly prohibition, and after sousing him with a bucket of water, she tells him to go on his way. Dan advertises for a wife and gets the usual phony letters and photos in response. The cowboys on the ranch discover the correspondence and decide to make it extra hot for him. They answer the letters and make appointments. His sweetheart is “put wise.” and prepares to rescue him after he has been sufficiently disciplined. The returns come in so rapidly that Dan takes to the high country, pursued by the militant females. They are rough riders and he cannot shake them off until the cowpunchers acknowledge their share in the work, and atone for disappointments by each picking out a wife for himself.
