Ranchman Alston gets a good fat check from the sale of some steers and decides to take Ma Alston, his daughter and some of the cowboys to a circus which is visiting the village nearby. Off they go. Ma Alston has her hands full preventing Alston from visiting the hoochy-coochy and other side-shows. She is annoyed at his mild flirtations with the snake charmer, who gives him a souvenir in a box. This is opened at home, disclosing a small snake with disastrous results. Two of the boys are passing the performance tent when they hear a girl's shriek. They clamber under the canvas in time to punish the bullying ringmaster and to rescue the two girls, who are promptly discharged. They are invited to go to the ranch and the boys propose and are promptly accepted. Various other complications occur and the party have many experiences to talk about and laugh over later.
