Virginia True Boardman -- she and Elinor Fair had the best names for silent actresses -- may amuse herself by putting salt in the wash bowls and hitching the lunch table to the wagon as it leaves for town, but when she is about to marry the wrong man, the boys at the ranch pitch in to make sure things turn out right.
Besides the straight westerns that Broncho Billy Anderson starred in, he also directed a lot of comedies. His company, Essanay, had several series of them, often on a western theme. This one is an amusing one.
Of note is the fact that Roland Totheroh has a small role in this. The next year he would make his debut as a cinematographer, and a couple of years later, he would take on the task of shooting movies for Charlie Chaplin when that comic moved to Essanay for a year. Their association would continue for more than a third of a century.
