The deer season opens in Deerfoot, Colorado, on the fifteenth of August, and the run promises to be heavy. Lord Charles Raleigh, an English tenderfoot, comes westward to bag, if possible, some of the game. He arrives in Deerfoot and is directed to Mrs. Thatcher's house for board. On the way he passes Louise, the daughter of the landlady, and there is a mutual attraction. Louise, on returning from town, finds several cowboys who are enjoying their own fun at the expense of the monocle worn by the Englishman. After getting established in his boarding house, his Lordship produces a very expensive gun and goes out to practice. His aim is anything but exact, and he inadvertently shoots the milk bucket from the hand of Mr. Thatcher, who forthwith causes his Lordship to do a merry tango to the tune of a 44. The cowboys on a lark, dress one of their number in a deer's head and skin, conceal him in the woods. His Lordship comes through, he sees the antlers and fires. His surprise is great when, instead of falling, the deer does a merry little jig. He fires again, and this time the supposedly enraged deer charges his Lordship, driving him to the branches of a tree. Louise has overheard the plot to play a joke on the Englishman and goes out in search of him; she finds him treed by a fierce deer and taking her own rifle she clips the ear from the supposed deer, who beats a hasty retreat leaving horns and skin behind. Louise rescues his Lordship and decides that he shall not go back gameless. Putting the skin and horns around herself she is carried into camp on the shoulders of the Englishman. As the cowboys rush up to see his trophy, Louise emerges and laughingly tells the cowboys that the tenderfoot has bagged the first "dear.
