Synopsis
Bill Dana, a society playboy, jumps into the lake in Central Park and rescues a little boy, winning the gratitude of the boy's beautiful cousin, Mollie. She is at first impressed with Bill, but when she discovers that he is one of the "womanhandled" eastern men she despises, Mollie gives him the cold shoulder. In order to become the kind of strong, silent fellow she wants him to be, Bill heads for the West to make a man of himself, quickly discovering that all the real cowboys have gone to Hollywood and that, for the rest, there is nothing left but dudes and tennis players. Mollie comes west, and Bill bribes some local types to act like real cowboys. Mollie sees through the deception and starts for home. A herd of cattle stampedes, and Bill pulls Molly from under their sharp hooves. Having proven his love and manhood at last, Bill wins Mollie's love.
