Following an idea which he worked on during a visit to New York, Pa writes to a Frenchman, a lawyer there, and tells him he will marry his daughter to a count the lawyer will provide. The lawyer accordingly looks up an Italian cook, decks him out with a red sash, etc., and sends him west for the easy money. The cook of the ranch meanwhile has developed the matrimonial germ and successively but not successfully makes proposals of marriage to the wagoner, the hay-pitcher and the milker on the ranch. She is refused with threats of bodily harm in each case and gives up. The bogus count arrives. Father compels his daughter to accept him but at the moment when the wedding is about to be carried out, Jack arrives with a letter which he has found, incriminating the count as a counterfeit. They decide to marry the count to the cook to keep her contented on the ranch and after a dash which they round up, the count is made fast to the cook and he is put back on his old job in the kitchen, while Madam Cook sits by superintending the work in luxurious ease.
