Having seen the town, they retire to a park bench, where a vision of the open ranch rises before them. They take up a collection in "Happy's" hat, which proves to be but a collection of junk. Rose Seeley is a young woman whose one aim in life is entertaining. One day Reginald Bleak, a suitor with more money than brains, disappoints her by being unable to secure the entertainers for the party Rose is to give, which he had promised. Rose, put out, refuses to talk to Reggie and goes for a drive in the park. She discovers the five gloomy cowboys on the bench and decides to find out if they are real. She lashes her spirited horses, then throws down the lines and yells for help. "Happy" lines up his men beside the road, then runs beside the team where the road turns in a circle. As the horses turn, the other four boys rush out and stop them. "Happy" asks Rose if she is hurt and she tells the boys that she let the horses run just for excitement. She invites them to ride with her, and they all climb in. Reggie is horrified at the sight of the boys, and they in turn are amused at him. He speaks to Rose, who tells him that she intends to have the boys remain to entertain her guests. The cowboys object to staying, but Rose promises them tickets home, and they agree to see the thing through. She takes their guns away from them and has them wait in the library until the guests arrive. "Happy" sees two crooks on the lawn. He sends "Bogs" out the back way to see what they are doing. "Bogs" sees them crawling up a pillar of the porch. He reports to the boys. "Bogs" goes up the back stairs and sees the crooks taking jewels from the dresser. He starts a fight and the other boys come to his aid. They all come tumbling down the stairs. "Happy" turns the jewels over to Rose, and tells "Bogs" to phone for a cop. Rose explains that the incident was a novel entertainment to surprise her friends, because she was a daughter of Arizona and is going back home. See less
