Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Priscilla knowing that thieving tramps are in the neighborhood, thinks she sees one in a not very reputable-looking stranger who suddenly appears in the courtyard. With a gun, Priscilla drives him into the chicken-coop, where she holds him a prisoner, and awaits the return of Fred, her brother, who has gone to the station to meet his college chum. But Fred reached the station an hour late and missed his chum, the latter having hired a boy with a motorcycle to act as guide in finding the ranch. The finding, however, proved very disastrous to Fred’s chum as evidenced by his tramp-like appearance, and most embarrassing to Priscilla when Fred recognized in the occupant of the chicken-coop, his chum.
