Loretta, a beautiful Spanish girl, is a flirt, but she really loves Bill Hawkins. Invitations to the wedding of Eddie Hawkins and Hortense McGish have been issued, and relatives and friends gather for the ceremony. Following the wedding, Dell Hawkins offers to bet $50 that he will have married Loretta to his brother Bill within two days. In rivalry for Loretta, a shooting affray occurs between cowboys, and Sheriff Smith vows someone will have to pay for the death of one of the men. Loretta fears she will be implicated though she is innocent, and Dell Hawkins gives her his horse and urges her to speed to Bill's cabin in the mountains. Later Dell arrives with a parson and Bill and Loretta are married. Dell again goes to Bill's cabin after celebrating the wedding of his brothers. He is followed by the parson, who recalls an undelivered message which arrived on Eddie's wedding night. "That telegram," says the parson to Dell, "states that an inheritance of half a million dollars goes to the Hawkins brother who remains unmarried." "That's me," exclaims Dell.
