On his way to town he rescues Myrtle Mulligan, who has been driven from protection to the high branches of a tree by a vicious bull.

Hearing Bill intends to dynamite the bridge the plucky girl decides to take a hand in the game. Arriving on the scene just after Bill has lighted the fuse she fearlessly picks up the cartridge and throws it where it can do little damage.
