Dirtyshirt beats Magpie with an invitation to take Lucy to the rodeo, so Magpie disarranges the steering gear on Dirtyshirt's flivver. He happens along at the psychological moment and persuades Lucy to accompany him to the rodeo. Magpie, to make an impression with the girl, agrees to ride the untamable horse, Ajax, but he is promptly thrown. Dirtyshirt conceives the idea of painting a docile animal the color of Ajax and then volunteers to ride him. Magpie detects the ruse and switches the names on the stalls of the animals, with the result that Dirtyshirt also has a rough time with Ajax. Magpie then leads out the docile painted animal and has no trouble winning the prize offered, until Dirtyshirt turns a hose on the horse and shows up Magpie. Written by
