It is found on the road by Pete and Ike, cowboys of the Bar X Ranch, who decide to play a huge joke on the boys of their town. Dressing themselves in the clerical robes, and shaving off their mustaches, they appear in the town and call a meeting at the town hall. Announcing that weapons in the temporary house of God are anachronism, they force the boys to deposit their hardware outside. Then when they are weaponless, Ike and Pete throw down their guns on the astonished "boys" and, forcing them to hold their hands on high, relieve them of all their cash and watches. Then they give them all the laugh and the boys are returned their cash and are forced to "buy." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
