The ranch hands read in the paper that six handsome young women are on their way west from Boston, escorted by a chaperon. The paper makes the comment that inasmuch as women are scarce in the vicinity of Red Butte, no doubt the lonely ranchmen will extend a cordial welcome. Foremost in making preparations is Jim, who feels that the most sedate of the eastern ladies cannot resist him. Fearing that Jim will "cut them out," the boys bend their energies toward frustrating him and the result is that they lose out entirely. The ladies depart in disgust, all save the chaperon, who decides to cast her lot with Jim.
