As soon as they have departed, she and the valet next door, who is another oriental, arrange to bold a native festival in Binks' house, and invite a troupe of native acrobats, who are resting in a nearby city. They arrive and are quietly feasting when the master of the house unexpectedly returns and goes quietly to his room and gets in bed. Then a native girl gives them a characteristic dance and the applause awakens Binks, who dressed in pajamas, steals to the kitchen, but the orientals have sneaked into the closets. The maid tells him she is alone, but he sees a man's foot and drags him from under the table, and a struggle ensues. The native gives him a tough fight and the kitchen is wrecked. Binks is worsting the native, who gives the native war cry. His fellow countrymen and women swarm on from all corners, and tackle Binks, who fights them away and rushes through the window. He is chased down the street by the enraged foreigners. Binks runs into the village glee club and tells them that the war with the orientals has broken out in his kitchen. They scoff at him but his words are confirmed by a shower of sods, rocks, clubs and other missiles, which descends upon the glee club. Before they can recover from their surprise the furious foreigners tackle them and a terrific rough and tumble is on. The constable rushes on with a shot gun, which explodes and the foreigners rush off one way, while the frightened country jays rush into the house. The foreigners get on a train and leave Squedunk forever. The next day the rubes are drawn up and Binks reads them this letter, which he has written: "To the war department, Last night an Oriental army landed on our coast. We met the enemy and they are ours. They escaped. Consider the war scare as over. The citizens of Squedunk." The war department receives this and all are happy to think that trouble has been averted.
