Cheasington, the handsome leading man. One night while Binks is dressed as a convict and behind prison bars, he sees the leading lady and the accursed Maurice Mt. Cheasington embracing off the stage. This maddens him and he drops his character and shakes his fist at them. The manager gives him a kick, and Binks, jumping with pain, knocks down the scenery on the leading man's head and they have a rough and tumble fight with the fire buckets and everything else that they can seize. Binks ends the combat by knocking the matinee idol into the base drum. He is senseless, and Binks, thinking he has killed him, runs from the theater followed by the actors in costume and the audience. He is dressed as a convict and the number of the pursuers grow. He dodges them and they give up the chase. A runaway convict is nearby and old Skeggins, the village miser, has covetously wished for the reward. He spies the convict stripes of Binks in the woods, and calling two husky farm hands, he superintends the capture of Binks, and as the train does not go until morning, they lock him in the ice house. The next day he is taken out, rather stiff, and carried to the depot, where the manager recognizes him. Binks is restored and thrashes his captors and gets on the train and leaves with the company.
