The six months will be up on July 6, and for three weeks Billy has not been able to make ice. On the third of July the inspector discovers that he is trying to palm off on them a cake of glass made to look like ice. Casparis and other Americans determine to celebrate the Fourth as American gentlemen should, and General Dingo, leader of the revolutionary party, offers them aid. They believe he is doing it to help them celebrate, whereas a real revolution is scheduled for the morrow. The Americans start the day along conventional lines, divesting the bars as they go along of all strong drink bearing American labels. Just as things are beginning to liven up along comes General Dingo on a white horse with a couple of hundred natives. They attack the garrison and are forced into retreat. The Americans, thinking the soldiers are trying to stop their patriotic demonstration, attack them and win the battle for the revolutionists under General Dingo. They know nothing of this, however, until the next day, when the General and the newly-elected president call on Billy to thank him for his bravery in winning the victory for them. They insist on calling the piece of glass "ice" and tell Casparis he has lived up to his contract and that the thousand dollars will be returned. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
