The Greenhorn and the Girl (1910)
The Greenhorn is having a delightful time learning how to be a cowboy. The more expert range-riders are having most of the fun, but the Greenhorn takes it all in good part The "Old Man" gets a letter announcing the arrival of his niece and he tells the boys. In the same envelope is a portrait of his sister, and this, being dropped, gives the boys the idea that the old lady is coming. With great enthusiasm the Greenhorn is elected to drive to town and bring the girl back, and he is surprised, as anyone would be, when a vision of loveliness appears on the platform. But the Greenhorn is green only in spots. He persuades the girl that the alkali dust without a veil will ruin her complexion and that is how he manages to keep her to himself on the long rides they take. The others are moat willing that the Greenhorn should be her attendant though they cannot quite understand his cheerful devotion. Just to make things interesting they play at Indian and make a savage attack with blank cartridges. The Greenhorn cannot shoot straight and there is small danger of being hit, so they enjoy his brave defense tremendously, rushing in to tell him all about the joke. But the joke is on them. For the first time they see the girl's face and it's too late. The Greenhorn's bravery has won her.
