The Cowboys' Pies (1911)

There is an old bachelor ranchman, living not fifty miles from Silver Springs, Colorado. Two nieces and a sister pay him a visit. We see the party drive up in the carry-all and it is a cure for sore eyes to look at those nieces. Splendid looking girls with mischief peeping out all over them. The auntie starts to bake a cake and the girls resolve to try a hand at pies. Out in the bunkhouse they see the forms of the handsome cowboys. Well, you may surmise some complications will ensue, something stormy and worthwhile, when handsome cowboys and dashing girls have a fling together. Slipping over a lot of amusing incidents and detail, we come where the girls with cakes and pies have become the object of the cowboys' quest. These latter spy the girls and not knowing of their advent, or the manner of it, are after them in genuine cowboy fashion, in full tear. But the girls are their match to a certain extent. Their wild duel on horseback, followed by the cavaliers of the prairies in full chase is most exciting. The boys swing the ropes. Swish! Swish! They whirl through the air and the girls become their prey, "roped in" as it were in true western style. Then the cowboys get to "workin'" on those pies such as mother used to bake, and there is a good old time that beggars description.
