One day she sends him to town to match some dress goods for her, but he returns late with the wrong goods. Patsy is at a loss to know what to do, when his friends surround him and literally pull him in to have a little drink "to bolster up his courage." The "just one" ends in several, so that when Patsy arrives near home and finds he has picked up a bottle of whiskey from the bar instead of the dress goods, he longs to become an outlaw. Turning his horse around, Patsy soon comes upon a band of real outlaws in the woods. When the outlaws demand an explanation, be hilariously insists that he is the outlaw for whom a reward has just been offered. The captain and his men, pleased to meet so great a personage, at once become friendly and later tells him of a plan to rob the town bank that night. Waiting until all are asleep. Patsy creeps out, mounts his horse and slips away into the night to notify the sheriff, then hurries back and has just laid down under his blanket when the captain and his men awaken to start upon their night's work. Soon, with Patsy to guide them, they are on their way and arrive at the bank, to be surrounded by the sheriff and his posse. Then Patsy remembers Tilda. The sheriff, however, reassures him with a letter, which offers a big reward for these outlaws, so that he is not only received with open arms, and is treated with due respect. Written by
