Tad and Joe are rivals for her hand, and their chances seem to be about equal, while Shrimp, another cowboy, is also a faithful suitor. However, because of Shrimp's lack of physical prowess, Tad and Joe inflict all sorts of ignominy upon Shrimp whenever they catch him in the vicinity of the fair Miss Lamm's domicile. She finally tells Tad and Joe that the one who shall win a chariot race may have her hand in marriage. With ingenuity, but without much skill, they construct two rather grotesque chariots with which to contest for her hand. The day for the race is set. The wily Shrimp inveigles the fair Pettie to the office of the Justice of the Peace, where they are quietly married. The chariot race ends in a smash for all concerned. Shrimp wins the bride.
