Mrs. Murphy's Cooks

• Watchlist

Mrs. Murphy runs a boarding house in a small western town and has trouble in keeping a cook, for the cowboy boarders insist upon eloping with them. After losing two cooks, Mrs. Murphy induces a couple of the cowboys to try their skill, but this does not prove successful. An employment agency is importuned to send Mrs. Murphy a girl cook. She snubs all the cowboys. Finally the right cowboy comes along, and Mrs. Murphy is again left without a cook. This is too much for Mrs. Murphy and she spies an actor out of a job, she gives him the position of cook, and then in order to never be without a cook again, she marries the actor.
