But "Heinie" is far seeing. In collusion with his partner in crime, "Louie," he rigs up a mechanical device whereby "Louie," behind the scenes, at a signal from "Heinie" presses a button that releases a spike in the center of the floor, which spike punctures the spinal column of the wrestler over it, and so makes him unfit for further dispute. Jack, another aspirant for the hand of the fair dame in the case, also enters the lists. Heinie's stunt works well, and in some screamingly funny bouts he manages to disable four of his most feared rivals. "Louie," behind the scenes, made careless by the easy success of his button pushing work, falls asleep, and when he awakes instinctively pushes the button. But alas, "Heinie" is over the spike at that moment and takes the count. Then Jack puts the other contenders wise, and "Heinie" and "Louie" show better form as sprinters than they have in any of their previous accomplishments.
