- Ike is made the ranch's cook. When a traveling theatrical troupe get stranded nearby, Ike asks them back to the ranch, mainly so he can get next to their pretty leading lady, but he finds that he has to compete for the girl's affections with her pet monkey.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- The Moody Opera Company arrives in the village and finds that the town hall has been rented to a farmer for storing hay. Every member of the company broke. Universal Ike, the cook at a nearby ranch, invites the actors to be his guests. Ike has his eye set for Louise, the leading lady. The damsel, however, already has a sweetheart in the monkey she carries around with her. Ike becomes jealous of the monkey and plans to turn a trick which will defeat his hairy rival. Among the actors effects is a monkey skin. While the members of the troupe are being entertained at a rodeo, Ike spirits the monkey away from Louise and locks it up. He then disguises himself as a monkey and goes to Louise. Monkey-like, he rubs against her foot. Woman-like, she thinks this exceedingly cute of her pet and even kisses him. But this state of bliss does not continue for Ike. Ike feels the craving for a smoke come over him. He combats it and loses. He takes a smoke. Louise screams and swoons. Ike flees and takes refuge in the middle of a mill pond. When the shadows begin to fall and the scent of freshly cooked coffee fills the air, Ike is still in the middle of the pond. That is a very safe place for him.—Moving Picture World synopsis
