Mesquite Pete reads the ad and, feeling lonesome, writes her to come on. The ranch boys becoming "wise" forcibly throw down Mesquite Pete and shave, wash and comb him within an inch of his life. Nelly, the beautiful waitress, who has looked with favor upon Pete, hears the news of his perfidy. She receives a letter stating that her Aunt has died and left her $35,000. Joe, a handsome cowboy, pleads for her hand. She accepts. On the way back she drops the letter. Meanwhile, Pete has seen the ad writer and in order to escape, plans a fake hold-up. After the hired bandits have carried Maria off he finds the note and thinks the spinster has dropped it. He rushes off to recapture her. They enter the lunch-room where Nellie works. Pete flashes the letter. It is seized by the beautiful waitress and he discovers all too late his sad mistake. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
