He gets rather tired of punching cows and doing odd jobs on a ranch, so when he sees an article in the papers to the effect that eastern women consider western men more desirable than eastern men as husbands, Billy decides to go cast and find a spouse. When Billy arrives in New York he loses no time in getting a wife, but the unfortunate part of it is Billy interprets the article he has read literally. So every woman he sees, he imagines has read the article about western men making the "best husbands." In his free western fashion he proposes to all whom he meets and naturally he receives many set-backs, much to his surprise and discomfort. Luckless Bill at last meets with an "old maid" who is willing to have him "for better or for worse," but Billy knows in advance that it would be "for worse," so he tries to escape the woman's clutches. He has an awful time of it for she is persistent and vows "she will get him yet." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
