The room rent is due, their hunger is unappeased, and they have not a "jitney" between them. Jerry, always full of ideas, suggests that they may at least get something to eat by the simple expedient of a free lunch counter. The barkeep doesn't mind donating one sandwich, but to supply a feast, never. So Jerry and Hank are thrown out of the place. At this juncture Wild Ike comes along. Bloodthirsty, he shoots up everybody and everything in sight. Unfortunately for Jerry and Hank they walk in his line of vision, but a rain of bullets prompts them to beat a hasty retreat. Wild Ike, now thoroughly aroused, pursues. They seek shelter in their rooms but the landlady becomes so pestiferous in her demands for rent that they flee to the woods. At one of the outposts they see a sign offering $500 reward for the capture of Wild Ike. A happy idea strikes them. Jerry is to make up as Wild Ike. Hank will turn him over to the sheriff as the genuine bandit, and Hank will collect the reward and split fifty-fifty with his co-conspirator. Ike, who has been wandering about, steals upon the plotters, overhears their plans and decides its a good one. He makes Jerry trade clothes with him and with visions of getting the reward himself escorts Jerry to the sheriff's office after blowing up Hank so that there will be no interference. But Ike failed to consider Hank's recuperative powers and just as he is collecting the $500 Hank rushes in, exposes the job, has Ike locked up, and with Jerry takes in the $500. Written by
