About 'Walk, -- You, Walk!'
Sam (Marshall Neilan) has a new automobile and takes Rose (Marin Sais) for a ride. He demands a kiss. She gets out and walks. With her sister Nell (Ruth Roland) she later gets him to stop for flowers, then leaves him behind. When a car fails them, the sisters take to the hills, double back, and ride off on the men's horses.
