May arrives at the Bullshed Ranch. She is so timid and shy that she is almost frightened to death by the cowboys' revolvers and rough appearance. While all the other boys consider her a joke, Steve, a good-natured fellow, thinks she is just about right. Shortly after her arrival, there is a reward offered for the capture of a desperado. The sheriff, her uncle, and his men start in pursuit. Steve accidentally happens to get in his way, and both he and the desperado are so surprised they separate in opposite direction. May sees the desperado approaching her. The bad man appeals to her for refuge. She tells him to go in the barn, which is also used as a jail by the sheriff. She locks him in, and when the sheriff and his men return, they find their man in jail, thanks to Timid May. Steve, scared to death, arrives on the scene before the posse, and when they arrive takes part of the credit. May is so bashful and so overcome by his assumed heroism, she falls into his arms and throws darts of love into his soul.
