They meet with several adventures, trying to them, but intensely amusing to the spectator. After having purchased a necessary third horse they meet with an Indian, who warns them of an approaching snowstorm. Disregarding the warning, they proceed and are caught in a mountain blizzard. They lose their way, and in trying to recover the trail circle about for hours. Night overtakes them in a pitiable condition. They make several efforts to get a fire after having exhausted their store of matches. They resort to rubbing twigs and even try to light a .fire by discharging a pistol at the inflammable twigs. They merely succeed in scattering the twigs as well as all hope of artificial heat. In their despair they conclude to lie down and die. Bidding each other a pathetic farewell and asking mutual forgiveness, they renounce their favorite vices, cards, tobacco and whiskey, and settle down in the drifting snow. The next morning they are awakened by the attendants of a mountain hotel which stood within a few feet of the spot where they slept, but was obscured from view by the storm. After a warm breakfast, each man returns to his worldly ways. The humor of this situation is shown in the final tableau of the picture. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
