This has made him the envy of one or two suitors of Betta Mann and Notta Mann, the most desirable young women of the town. While promenading with Betta Mann, a loafer accosts her. and Billy has not the courage to resent the insult. This is done for him by Tom Hale, his prominent rival, and Billy is kidded to such an extent by the townsmen for his cowardice that he resolves to go out into the woolly West, so that he may learn to be brave and thereby eventually win Betta. Billy cannot accustom himself to the rough stuff of the Westerners. His particular aversion is Joe Hale, known as "Rattlesnake Joe," who is a brother of his rival Tom Hale. Billy keeps away from the cowpunchers, but his letters to Betta and the other Eastern townspeople are bristling with narratives of reckless heroism. Tom Hale's letters from his brother, Joe, however, do not bear out the truth of these narratives, and when Billy comes home to prove that he is a man, Tom resolves to unmask him. Billy arrives in his home town garbed in the get up of a western desperado. The Mann girls and their mother decide to give him a dinner in celebration of the event. At the dinner Billy relates a series of blood-curdling adventures. Billy's narratives create much admiration among his hearers. But, as he ends the last one, Rattlesnake Joe, who has been sent for, stands before him and he is struck with terror. There is some gun play; Billy pleads for mercy, acknowledges he has been lying, and is chased out of the house by the men. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
