To explain his absence he writes his sweetheart that he is holding down a government position. Disliking the job of cracking stones to which he was assigned, Jerry plans his escape. His opportunity comes when the attention of the guard is distracted. Picking up a stone he whirls it at the guard who falls with a thud into unconsciousness. Changing clothes with the senseless man he goes forward and meets his cronies, whom he liberates. Upon returning to his senses the guard raises a cry and pursuit is immediately started after the escaped convicts. Jerry spies on the wayside an automobile belonging to a motion picture company out on a "location" and bidding his comrades enter he takes the wheel and makes off at full speed. In the car the four discover four elaborate sets of military costumes intended for use in the picture people's scene. Donning these Jerry with his friends starts for his sweetheart's home, wiring ahead the news of their coming. The receipt of Jerry's message causes great rejoicing and plans are immediately made for an elaborate reception. Jerry and his cronies drive up to sweetheart's home. The grounds are lavishly decorated and the interior of the house is a triumphal arch for the returning hero. Jerry is asked to tell of his experiences. This he does, sorely taxing his imagination. In the meantime the motion picture director has discovered the loss of his car. Meeting the guards, who are on a hunt for Jerry, he enters a complaint. Given the car number they have little difficulty in tracing the active Jerry. When the reception is at its height the guards enter. The three cronies, having imbibed freely from the punch bowl, have fallen into the accustomed prison lockstep. Whatever doubt may have existed in the guard's mind as to the identity of the group is immediately dispelled by this action and they collar the three and handcuff them. Jerry, having had no time to escape, is treated in the same fashion. All prisoners, again in lockstep, are then marched off to the police auto and driven away, while the guests show great indignation towards the members of the family and leave. Jerry and his cronies are returned to the prison, put in stripes and again set to work, this time, however, with ball and chain attachments. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
