They visit the mayor with the result that Bunny, the old fire chief, is ousted and Mrs. Bangs elected in his place as the new fire chief. She has some trouble in her new position, but soon overcomes all obstacles. Willlamsville purchases a motor engine and the faithful old fire horses are auctioned off as worthless, the old chief's pet being sold to a peddler. Returning from a visit out of town, the old chief learns of the sale and is heartbroken. By chance he finds the horse and buys him. Later he finds his old buggy in the rubbish pile of the fire house. A fire breaks out and the new chief tells the maid to 'phone the men to call for her in the auto engine. The new fire chief, after much primping and delay, gets dressed, jumps into the auto engine, and they go tearing past the old chief, with his fire horse and buggy, but the machine breaks down and Bunny soon catches up. He takes a few of the boys in his buggy and races off to the fire. In the meantime, the other firemen arrive at the fire, but can do nothing until Mrs. Bangs arrives. An invalid is in the burning house, but no one dare enter. The old chief dashes up, assumes command and, starts things going in a hurry. The invalid is rescued just before the roof falls in. The motor is at last started and the new chief arrives, but everyone shouts for their old chief's reinstatement. Bunny is re-appointed amid great cheering, and generously shares honors with the old fire horse. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
