Because his cousin Cy is fresh from the farm, Bill thinks him an easy mark. He learns his mistake, however, when Cy gets a corner on the affections of Jane, who Bill loves. Cy wins the heart of Jane's father when he shows him a new way of transplanting a rose bush. Bill destroys the roots of the bush, hoping thereby to bring about the downfall of his country cousin. Cy, however, learns what has happened and secretly replaces the ruined bush with the biggest one he can buy. Not only does this move crush Bill, but it wins a bride for Cy.
