Magpie Simpkins slyly sneaks it away from him. Dirtyshirt gets Magpie to push his head through the hole in an "African Dodger" sheet and then locks him in and goes away to spark Susie, the town beauty, while Magpie gets pelted with eggs until rescued by fat Carrie Waite. Dirtyshirt takes Susie to the soda fountain where they order lavishly. He reaches for the money and finds the envelope missing. Magpie enters triumphantly with Carrie and makes a bum out of Dirtyshirt by picking out elaborate presents for Susie, which he proceeds to pay for with lordly abandon with Dirtyshirt's prize money. Instead of the money, he finds in the envelope an I. O. U. from the judge of the contest. Both of the cowpunchers are kicked out of the soda fountain and land in a tub of lemonade being dispensed by Judge Steele at "five cents for all you can drink." They graciously pay him the nickel for what they have consumed, and walk off to the carnival where they accidentally get in with a couple of lions. Escaping down the road, they are pursued by a beast. When they fall down winded, the beast pounces on them and turns out to be Judge Steele's dog with a lion rug thrown over him.
