The girls are really in love with the young men, but want to have a little fun at their expense, and to further this idea, plan a joke on their sweethearts. As they need aid in carrying out their scheme, they take two of the boys on the ranch into their confidence. Making the two young men up to look like girls, both Kitty and Molly send identical notes to Jim and Jack, asking them to meet them at their usual trysting place. Then riding off with the two disguised young cowboys, they have them sit at the foot of a tree, practically hidden from view by the low limbs of the tree. Then the girls take up a position in the upper branches of the same tree. As Jim and Jack approach, they see the back of the head and hats of what they think are the two girls, but they are soon undeceived, and they stride away, with the hearty laughter of the girls ringing in their ears. "Turn about is fair play," and Jack and Jim swear to get even. Fixing up two of their friends as Indians, they send them out to intercept the girls. At the psychological moment Jack and Jim appear on the scene and rescue the girls from the apparently murderous Indians. Arriving back at the ranch house, the girls tell the folks about their rescue, and of the heroic actions of Jack and Jim. As they are finishing their story, Jim and Jack step back and the two supposed Indians take their place. Pulling off their disguises, they show who they are. The girls are furious at the trick played upon them, but their mother tells them they ought to call it square. They exchange sheepish looks with each other, and finally agree that "He who laughs last, laughs best." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
