Also, Mrs. Ike develops a platonic friendship with the ranch's owner. Riding his donkey to town, Ike meets a young woman. He follows her to the hotel. A flirtation begins, which is interrupted by the arrival of his enemies, the cowboys. The hotel is full and Ike is given a bed upon the porch. While Ike is flirting with his soulmate the cowboys place a dressmaker's model in his bed. When he retires he discovers his bedmate. He tries to awaken the model. He tickles its papier-maché feet, but all to no avail. In the meantime the cowboys carry the gossip to Mrs. Ike. Ike hears her coming, and fearing to be caught, crawls into the nearest window. He finds himself in a woman's room. She screams and grabs him around the neck. Mrs. Ike hears the noise, enters the room, and saves poor Ike from the wicked woman.
