At the same time the niece, Alice Perkins, a pretty western girl, gets word of a million left to her by her late uncle if she will marry his nephew from Boston. Now Walter doesn't care a hang about marrying someone he has never seen, neither does Alice. So Walter dons the disguise of a foppish dude, hikes out to Mustang, secures the address of Alice and prepares to sicken her of his make-up. But Alice, in the meantime, has decided to play the same joke on her "intended," takes her parents into the scheme and all have rigged themselves out as a family of most ferocious westerners, picking their teeth with bowie-knives and whanging at everything with six-shooters. Therefore, when Walter calls, he is dumbfounded and soon takes to his heels, at the smell of powder. Getting out of his make-up, Walter sends a note to Alice that he wouldn't marry her with ten million, then starts for the train. Now Alice has removed her make-up and has gone up the trail, when she is suddenly confronted by a ruffian who tries to steal a kiss. Walter is just leaving the little hotel, when he hears screams, hastens up the trail and is just in time to kick the loafer on his way, reassures Alice, hands her his card and starts on for the train. Neither has recognized the other. Alice watches him out of sight, then one look at the card identifies Walter as her "intended" from Boston. Consequently, Walter is stopped by Alice as he is boarding the train, identifications are disclosed and, to be sure, the train slips away while plans for an early wedding are being earnestly discussed.
