Al Matthews writes to his old friend, Daniel Miller, that a young lady wishes to come west to sketch some real western scenery, and will arrive at Miller's ranch within a few days. Daniel Miller is well along in years, but when grace, the artist, appears at the ranch, visions of matrimony again come to the old gentleman. Tom, Daniel Miller's son, also admires the pretty girl. It does not take long for Tom and Grace to fall in love, but their love-making is constantly interrupted by the interference of father. Grace wishes to paint a picture, and she induces Tom's father to pose as an angel banging from a rope which is tied to the limb of a tree. When father is thus made secure, Tom and Grace escape to plight their troth uninterruptedly.
