Jerry presses his suit, but when discovered by one of her policemen friends, is temporarily routed. Jerry finds a telephone wagon nearby where he procures a coil of rope and succeeds in lassoing the cop and the girl and pulling them into a deep pool. A whirlwind chase ensues, participated in by the entire police force. Jerry drops from the second-story window of a house into the vacant saddle ordinarily occupied by a mounted policeman and dashes away to freedom. The cops in their flivver run out of gasoline, but make the grade by hoisting a sail, and continue the chase. Jerry rides headlong into the arms of Shoot-em-up-Bill, a bad man, who exhibits a $5,000 sack of gold. "Shoot-em-up" commandeers Jerry and his horse and together they ride into town. Shoot-em-up puts the gold in a safe, and Jerry runs to a room overhead. Safe-crackers blow up the safe, the force of which shoots the gold up through the floor into Jerry's arms. The mast on the flivver waiting below provides the means of Jerry's escape from yet another difficulty. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
