He starts off by blowing up a stand of fireworks after he has appropriated a number of giant crackers to himself. Pursued by the proprietor of the stand, Jerry seeks refuge in the part. He comes across a policeman slumbering on a bench and rudely awakens the guardians of the law by exploding one of the big firecrackers. A chase follows and Jerry almost runs into the police station. A small runabout attracts his attention and as an angry squad of police close in on him he leaps into the automobile and speeds away. Arriving at his sweetheart's home he takes pride in describing his new automobile, but when the father sees it he orders Jerry away. Jerry goes for a spin in the country and comes across a settlement of Indians. A happy thought comes to him to sell the machine to the chief and with the money buy a better car so as to win over the consent of the parent of his sweetheart. The chief pays a fabulous sum for the car. In the meantime the entire police force turns out to find Jerry. They soon discover him talking with the Indians. In the mix-up Jerry escapes, and steals the auto. The police and Indians fight over the ownership of the small car, the former finally starting off with it with the Indians in hot pursuit. Jerry is overtaken as he enters his sweetheart's home. The Indians have flocked about the house and a battle is in progress between the police and the angry warriors. Jerry pretends he has been shot and drops at the feet of the father. The girl is heartbroken until Jerry winks at her. Jerry is unable to carry his ruse out and he is observed by the officers. The house is in an uproar but Jerry at last leaps from the top floor of the building to the gardens, runs to the street and speeds away in the big car. The Indians gain possession of the car their chief bought, and they, too, speed away leaving the entire police department defeated. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
