Johnson, a lonely ranchman, advertises for a wife and stipulates that she most have black eyes, weigh 180 pounds and be able to play the organ. The Widow from Winnipeg answers that she meets all requirements. Finally the great day arrives and Johnson escorts the bride to his cabin. But the widow has ideas of her own which she proceeds to execute. Johnson, in desperation, arranges to have the Sheriff arrest him, but the widow puts up a strenuous defense and prevents the officer from arresting Johnson. The ranchman has another great idea. He disguises himself and returns to the cabin with the information that he is Bad Bill the wife beater, who has bought the Johnson outfit. The widow penetrates the disguise and makes things lively for the pretender. Finally Johnson joins a band of outlaws and the widow, searching for her heart’s desire succeeds in rounding up the whole gang.
