Pete, Jake and Jerry, three cowboys, fall in love with her, but do not progress. Smithers, the pioneer town lawyer happens by and sees the sign, "Carrie Simpkins, Lawyer," and decides to pay her a visit, which he does, and he also falls in love with her. Pete, Jake and Jerry all hit upon the same plan unknown to each other, which will help their chances with Carrie. They scheme to rob the town grocery store at night, and leave something behind that will convict them of the crime. That night two professional crooks, who have arrived in town that day, rob the grocery store. Pete arrives on the scene and discovers the robbery and leaves his spurs behind as evidence that he did it. Jerry arrives, sneaks into the store and leaves his six-shooter behind as evidence that he is the culprit. Then Jake makes his way into the store and leaves his revolver behind as evidence that he performed the deed. The storekeeper opens his establishment next morning and calls the sheriff. That officer places Pete, Jake and Jerry under arrest with their guns and spurs as evidence against them. In the meantime, Smithers, the town lawyer, has been ardently pressing his love suit with Carrie Simpkins with the result that they get married. The three cowpunchers in court ask tor Carrie to defend them and the Sheriff goes for her. He returns with Smithers, who smilingly tells the three boys that he has just married Carrie but would be pleased to defend them himself. This is too much for the boys to stand, and they fall back and collapse while Smithers looks on and laughs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
