    It Turns Out You Can Get A Man With A Gun

    Polly Moran is sheriff of Triggerville. She's engaged to Ben Turpin, but he calls it off when mail-order bride Ethel Teare shows up, so Miss Moran turns her attention to bandit Slim Summerville. But Miss Teare rejects Turpin, and Summerville robs a stage coach, so it's on again.

    It's a typical series of Keystone gags, held together by their editing and the usual shenanigans. Miss Moran has a grand time playing poker, shooting her guns, whacking the posse on their heads and firing her twenty-shooters at all and sundry. Is there a chase? Of course there is! Be patient and you'll see Keystone Teddy.
