She receives a telegram from her mother stating that she will arrive that morning to "look the new husband over." Mustang Pete dresses like the mother-in-law and beats the husband as well as Slippery Slim, who takes the husband's part. Having been kicked out of the house, the two kidnap Todd and push him over a cliff with a rope around him. They, too, catch in the rope and dangle in the air, the rope having caught on a tree stump. The husband falls to the ground and, returning home, is beaten by the real mother-in-law, who has arrived. He attempts to kill himself but is saved by his apologetic wife and mother-in-law.
