Charles in introduced to his host's wife and daughter. As he has neglected to mention that he is a married man, the young daughter falls in love with the young westerner. Charles returns home. Shortly after, he again receives a letter from Mr. Coigne wherein he regrets his inability to call in person, and is therefore sending a worthy representative to the ranch. Great is Charles' horror to discover in that worthy representative, Mr. Coigne's daughter, and equally great is the lady's rage and anguish to find the man she loved married. Just when a wordy combat is inevitable between the two, and which is viewed by Robert, the young wife enters. Realizing the importance of quick means to suppressing a scandal, Robert follows Charles to the smoking room right in time to prevent his brother from committing suicide. Learning the sad truth, Robert consoles him and offers to marry the girl rather than besmirch the family name. The girl, at first reluctant, finally consents to become his wife, and together they entrain for his Montana ranch.
