The patrons of the roadhouse take refuge in a box and a barrel as a robber holds them up. The landlord of the place hides behind the counter, leaving the situation in the hands of the desperate character. The automobile party approaches. The desperado holds up the party, but seeing the daughter, he takes them under his protection, while Jerry peers out of the trunk at the proceedings. The hold-up man escorts the frightened family into the roadhouse, shooting as he goes, commanding the hysterical landlord to dance, firing at the waiter and taking a shot at Jerry, who follows them in. As Jerry hurries out of the roadhouse he conceives the idea of using a racing automobile which has just driven up. He enters the restaurant quietly, ties a lariat around the feet of the hold-up man, who is dragged out by the racer. But the bandit, after he has been dragged down the road, is left rubbing his head dazedly when the lariat runs afoul of a tree. He recovers just in time to hold up the automobile party which has by this time followed from the inn. On seeing the bandit Jerry hastily concludes his conversation with the girl and gets into the trunk. The family, with the bandit still accompanying them, enter the residence. When father phones for the police, the bad man shoots the telephone from his hands, Jerry now gets inside and fells the bandit with a blow over the head. Mother and daughter enter a bedroom and father is just knocking there for admitttance when he sees that the bandit has recovered and is entering the hallway. Father escapes at the other side of the hall while the bandit raps on the bedroom door. The mother opens the door and falls into the bandit's arms. She screams and runs. While mother gets a shotgun and fires at the bandit, Jerry sneaks in again and fells the desperado with a vase. Jerry takes the bandit's guns and holds him up as mother shoots again. Two officers now enter and find that the features of the captive correspond with those of the picture on the notice of reward. As the policemen march the bandit off the scene, Jerry is hailed as the hero of the hour and gets the daughter with her father's blessing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
