He gets in trouble with Lieut. Jack and the police interfere. At Jerry's command Jack is placed under arrest, although he protests. Jack's sweetheart sees the fight, but before she arrives her lover is taken to the guard house. Jerry then returns to the girl's house to plead his love. In the meantime Jack manages to get in touch with the Colonel and he is released. Jerry is progressing nicely with his love scene when Jack enters. Another mixup follows and as Jerry rushes from the house he takes a photograph of the girl with him. Jack follows and soon the two are at it again. They decide to end the quarrel over the girl in a duel. As they measure off the distance they are suddenly aroused when a band of bandits pounce down upon them. Both are made prisoners and taken to a cell. When Jerry is searched the picture of the girl is found and the chief of bandits orders Jerry to write her a note, telling her he is ill and needs her. He is forced to do this and then with Jack is cast into a dungeon. One of the bandits delivers the note to the girl and she hurries to the scene. She is greeted by the chief, who ties her hand and foot and then takes her to the dungeon to display his prize to the two men. He next orders Jerry and Jack removed to another cell and then he places the girl in a room and locks her up. One of the bandits drops a gun and Jerry grabs it, quickly he disarms the rest of the band while Jack ropes them together. Leaving the band helpless, Jack and Jerry start out to find the girl and they rescue her when Jerry stands on Jack's shoulders and lifts her from a window. As the trio start to escape Jerry finds some hand bombs and when another squad of bandits start after the trio they are blown to bits by the bombs which Jerry throws among them. Mounting horses, Jack, Jerry and the girl rush back to the zone of safety and the girl is returned to her worried parents. There Jerry gives up his efforts to win her, places her hand in Jack's and, giving his blessing, bravely goes forth to fight the bandits alone. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
