It is well for Bush that he can outrun his employer, Harvey. The latter most earnestly desires to shed Joe's blood. While Bush and Harvey are hotfooting it through town, Ham and Bud enter the lunchroom. Anxious to provide nice, comfortable homes for stray meals, the adventurers attack the lunch counter with a will. They barely finish satisfying their hunger when Harvey returns. The latter offers Ham and Bud employment. The two accept. The first customer is a wild and woolly westerner, who takes what he pleases and threatens them with a huge pistol when payment is demanded. Just as the man departs, Ham and Bud discover that the pistol is nothing more than a clever toy fan. Filled with righteous indignation, the adventurers arm themselves with sledge hammers. Solemnly marching after the westerner, they knock him over the head and return to the lunch counter. A train pulls into the station and the hungry passengers rush the counter. Although Ham and Bud hustle about, they accomplish nothing. Infuriated, the hunger-filled customers attack the waiters and a battle royal ensues. Harvey enters in time to get a smash in the face with a custard pie. Ham and Bud finally fight themselves clear. Fleeing for their lives, they make for the freight yard with the maddened men close behind. A handcar proves the adventurers' salvation. Climbing aboard, they speed out of town at a neck-breaking clip. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
