Here he sees a mounted policeman strolling along with his arm around a girl's waist and leading his horse. Jerry cuts the bridle reins, mounts and rides off, the policeman being too engrossed to discover his loss until some time later. Shorty and Madge are lovers. Shorty leaves a note for Madge in their private "post office" in a big tree at the side of the road, asking her to meet him that evening. She writes a note consenting. This little exchange of notes is witnessed by Lewis Hayden, Madge's father's favorite for his daughter's hand. He purloins the note left by Shorty and takes it to Madge's father. Jerry also has seen the entire proceeding and, impelled by curiosity, ascertains the cause for the state of ecstasy and surprise of the young people just as Shorty comes up. A wordy battle between Shorty and Jerry ensues, but is smoothed over when Jerry explains Hayden's visit, and the two become friends. At home Hayden shows Father the note, who calls Madge and insists that she marry his choice. Madge creates a rumpus. Father and Hayden decide to punish Shorty, whom they have never seen, but for whom they mistake Jerry. They gloat over the surmised fact that he is only "four feet tall and easily licked." Madge informs Shorty of her father's plans and also of his mistaking Jerry for Shorty. The friends decide that they will go forward, anyway, and meet the foe. At the trysting place Shorty dons Jerry's clothes and, after sending Jerry up into the tree, Shorty kneels alongside to appear the height of Jerry. Father and Hayden arrive with clubs to pounce on him, but Shorty is too quick. He rises like a shot to his full six feet two, grabs each by the hair, batters their heads together and sends them off. The next morning Father is up early, and so are Shorty and Jerry. In order to insure against Madge's escape Father nails strips of lumber across her window. Resourceful Jerry suggests to Shorty that he (Jerry) dress to represent Madge, tell Father that daughter is to be married, and while Jerry rides away dressed as Madge Father will follow, and Shorty and Madge can have the marriage ceremony performed during his absence. The scheme is carried out as planned. After a hard chase Father catches up with Jerry, whom he supposes to be Madge, takes her home, only to find Madge there with Shorty, just married. A disentanglement of all difficulties, wherein the policeman gets back his horse, Madge is forgiven and Shorty accepted as a son-in-law closes the picture.
