On his way he encounters Jerry Hefer who is trying to start what he believes to be a real automobile. Bill lends a hand and presently Jake Bentley, another crook, turns up. The auto refuses to move and the two robbers offer Jerry five dollars for it, with the idea of "stealing the town." They start to loot the bank, but Nancy Nugent, an old maid, interferes. She is promptly knocked down, the bank clerks fall over Nancy as they rush out. The police arrive and want to take it on the run. The Chief insists that they use the auto, but it takes so long to start that they have to give up the chase. Feeling themselves safe Bill and Jake lie down to take a sleep. Nancy comes up and, tearing her skirt into strips, bind the crooks and hailing a passing machine runs them back into the town. She then secures the Chief's cap and badge and goes back to find Jerry, who is busy wrecking his car with an axe. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
