In this amusing comedy the vigorous hero, in the guise of a cowboy, rescues the heroine, who is the daughter of his father’s ex-partner in business, from a cattle stampede. Then he follows her to New York and, owing to a lucky accident, is enabled to masquerade as a young English earl and thus throw aside paternal prejudice and find time and opportunity to win the daughter. When all is explained the heroine does not regret her lost coronet but welcomes the discovery of her cowboy rescuer in the person of her audacious American lover.
“Clever and entertaining story.”
