Viewing the home militia at drill gives Jack an idea. When they stack guns to go and have a drink the desperate lover takes them and plants them along the roadside, loaded with blanks. Then he ties strings to the triggers so that when they are pulled a broadside will be fired. After the first valley the news is given out that the Mexicans have captured the town. The militia, finding that their guns have been confiscated, call on the police department for assistance, and under cover of the excitement Jack and Polly elope. After the ceremony, Jack sends a messenger to declare a truce. But Polly's father already has discovered the ruse when the army of defense tries to drown out the ambushed army of invasion. His son-in-law's cleverness, however, appeals to the obdurate old gentleman, and the elopers are forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
