The Belle of The West Speedy Summers, proprietor of the hotel and barber shop of Roarin' Creek, Idaho, advertises in several large eastern papers for a hotel manager, preferring someone who could barber as a side-line. When the men of the town hear that a new barber is coming to town, they are angry and resentful, holding a hate for anyone who tries to clean up their personal appearance. The last barber had been shot. Speedy received one reply from an I. M. Brown and hired the person with- out having first met him. When the new barber arrives and is a lovely lady, Mrs. Ida Mae Brown, a widow, the men are delighted and eager to patronize the barber shop. But the ladies of Roarin' Creek are not a bit happy about it, for they believe Ida is beating their time. Bess, Speedy's housekeeper and cook is especially jealous, for she has been sweet on him for years. So the girls hold an indignation meeting and decide to dress up and become citified to win back their wandering boy friends. The results of this are hilarious. Then Ida meets Alan, a former boy friend, who has migrated to Idaho and is working a claim back in the hills. Having heard of the pretty barber, he comes to town to get a shave. Both are speechless with surprise when they meet, and realize there is still a spark of the old flame burning. But matters are compli- cated by a fiery Spanish girl, Carmen, who Alan has been settin' up to . The enraged Carmen even makes an attempt on lda's life which Alan foils. But in the end, Carmen realizes she has lost Alan to Ida and gallantly gives him up. So Alan and Ida decide to marry and settle down in Roarin' Creek. This is heartily approved by all, especially the men, provided lda will continue running the barber shop for She't the best danged barber we ever had in these here parts .
