On his way to the depot, he stops in the village saloon to have a parting drink and to say good-bye to the boys. There he forgets the can of honey on the counter, where the barkeeper discovered it and puts it in the cellar for safe-keeping. A tramp, called Shifty Pete, is employed at the saloon as a roustabout. He wanders into the cellar, and after sampling several wines and whiskies, drinks the honey. Meanwhile, Binks, thinking to keep all hands off his delectable gift until he can come for it. writes the bartender that the can contains nitro-glycerin. Upon the revelation that Pete has consumed the contents of Binks' can, a doctor is summoned in great haste, who pronounces Pete highly explosive, and orders that he be handled with care. The police are notified and a special guard detailed to attend Pete. The tramp walks around, like some scared victim of the scourge of God in the ancient days, until a tough character who happens that way pitches into him without waiting for an explanation. It is sufficiently demonstrated that Pete is in no danger of exploding, and everybody in town turns in and finishes him up. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
