News of the duel is carried to the Colonel's family and to prevent the demise of the Major, the Colonel's son mounts a trusty high wheeled cycle and crashes into the field of battle in time to effect a cessation of hostilities - the bullet having hit the boy's watch when he appeared in the line of battle. Beholden, the Major presents him with his own "Waterbury." Time passes and in the meantime the boy - after bidding his sweetheart good-bye - reaches the cold, cruel city to build his fortune from a capital of ten cents. Hovering around a lunch counter where a customer is drinking a cup of coffee, the lone coin is accidentally dropped in the cup and disappears down the drinker's throat. Disheartened, the boy seeks a country road and meets a repulsed lover who is attempting suicide with a harmless gun. However, the gun suddenly goes off and hits a lamp globe which drops on the boy's head. He is taken to the home of an adventuress who tries to vamp him after linking up the "Waterbury" with a newspaper article which seeks to locate a missing heir to a fortune. The other suitor appears and at this point Lane displays a lot of his tricks in his endeavors to dodge his pursuer. The boy escapes the scheming pair and with his "Waterbury," returns to claim the fortune and his sweetheart. Written by Motion Picture News, February 6, 1926 See less
