The elderly MABEL MCCABE lives a quiet life in her mountain cabin, far from the hubbub of the modern 19th century world. This life is interrupted, however, by the intrusion of LEVITICUS WILES, a high society dandy who's attempting to prove his manhood with a vaguely conceived conquering of the wild blue yonder. Unfortunately, Leviticus has suffered a poisonous snake bite and Mabel is the only one around for miles who can help him. She can save him, if she can just stay on task long enough.
