Cy Perkins does not love his job on the farm. He puts in every minute he can steal from work reading five-cent novels of the Wild and Woolly West. At last he sends to a Chicago catalogue house for a full set of cowboy regalia, and taking his savings, buys a ticket for Colorado Springs. On arriving, he is surprised to find that the town is more up-to-date man many Eastern cities he has visited. His costume is guyed by people on the street, and the hotel keepers rob him of his cash. At last penniless, he does not know what to do, when he runs into a man who is looking for help on his farm. Cy is so overjoyed to find himself back on the familiar job, that he kisses the first cow he meets on his employer's place.
