Pending the settlement of her uncle's estate Sis, the heiress, goes off to visit the Goldcoins, her city relatives. A palmist warns her that the first man she speaks to in the city will be her life's mate, so Sis, true to Rube, becomes dumb the minute a man approaches. Fortune hunters flock around her at the reception at the Goldcoins home, but through all sorts of mix-ups Sis never utters a word. Suddenly a telegram arrives stating that the homestead, which comprises the whole of Sis' inheritance has been burned to the ground, so Sis flies to the train without the regrets of the fortune hunters. She arrives home to find that Rube faked the news in the telegram through fear of losing Sis to "one of them city fellers," and there is a joyful reunion.
