Weary, riding quietly around the corner of the schoolhouse, discovers the school ma'am sitting on the steps fussing with an old revolver. Weary discovers that she is afraid and loans her his own revolver with which to protect herself from interlopers. He demonstrates its accuracy by shooting her pet gopher, whereupon she dismisses him in a rage. Weary gets "in bad" with the school ma'am and he is despondent. He buries the pet gopher with all honors and erects a head-stone with the following inscription: "Gone, but not Forgot." Weary meets the school ma'am on the road, but she pretends to scorn him while her heart is really aching for his companionship. They play at cross purposes and both become desperate. Weary arouses jealousy in the school ma'am's heart by taking another girl to a dunce, but he wants to win the school ma'am and he arranges a series of incidents which arouse her interest until finally the misunderstandings are done away with, and they become engaged. The antics of the good-natured cowboys provide this picture with exceptional comedy situations. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
