He Won a Ranch (1914)

Dan Bell, a ranchman, goes to New York for a good time. He gets into a poker game and loses all, even his ranch, to Isaac Rosenstein. Rosenstein immediately starts west to take charge. Just as he arrives one of the cowboys breaks a window. Rosenstein, showing the cuteness of his race, demands fifty cents for the broken window. The cowboy becomes enraged and wants to kill Isaac, who then approaches the cook and objects to the way he is peeling potatoes. He then proceeds to demonstrate on the laziness of the cook, who, taking offense, beats him out of the scene. The cook then explains to the cowboys that they will have to disgust him with the place. It is an excellent idea well received. From now on all sorts of things happen to the new boss. He has all he can do to escape with his life. Bell returns to the ranch to obtain his personal belongings. Rosenstein insists that he take back the ranch, and as the clothing business is more in his line, he goes back to watch the cash register.
