Mrs. Hookworm and her mean little son, Sturgeon, run a theatrical boarding house out West where Bill E. Goat and his company of traveling performers are stranded. Mrs. Hookworm has locked them out of their rooms and seized their luggage. Enter the villain, Slicker Pinsetter, who knows the lovely Mary Delightful has a trunk containing some of her late father’s plays. Unbeknownst to the others, a revival of one of her father’s plays is a current hit in London. Mrs. Hookworm and Slicker compete in gleeful greed to see who will get the trunk. But they do not plan on the appearance of our hero, Chester, the cowboy who foils the pair of villains.
