Kitty and the Cowboys (1911)
Life on the ranch has a heap of fun attached to it and where they can get hold of a good-natured butt like "Fatty" they are always happy and they keep him guessing and make him the subject of their pranks. Fatty stands their joshing and kidding without complaint and generally with a smile, but notwithstanding his seeming good nature, he is looking for a chance to get lack at them. He and his friend "Pink" arrange a scheme by framing up a letter from the County Court, calling Fatty for jury duty and at the same time they get the telegraph operator to send him a telegram saying his sister will arrive from the East the next day. Fatty shows these communications to the bunch and they at once begin to make overtures to him for an introduction to his sister when she arrives and express a desire to be made her especial custodian. Fatty delegates Pink to receive her and introduce her to the boys, during his absence at the County Seat at the hour of her arrival. Pink hitches up the old sorrel and starts for the railroad station, a long distance from the ranch. On the way he meets "Fatty" at an abandoned shack, where Fatty makes up in wig and female attire. Fatty's sister arrives at the ranch. The punchers are not accustomed to female society, and while they are somewhat puzzled by her size and remarkable features, they show her the deference due the fair sex. She makes herself agreeable and reaches their hearts by way of their stomachs, cooking a meal fit for the gods and baking biscuits, "just like Mother used to make." All of the boys make offers of marriage to her. She tells them she must have a separate interview with each of them, in the presence of Pink. Each of the boys enters the kitchen separately, where she and Pink take their guns from them and soon have them tied together hands and feet, like a string of sausages. They manage to get loose after a while and go in search of their enchantress, finding her sound asleep in an adjoining room. They call her to account for her conduct and while they are making their complaints she takes off her dress and wig and stands before them, their old pal Fatty, whom they carry out bodily for a ducking in the horse trough.
