Slim tries to make love to Peggy, and her husband becomes jealous. The landlord calls and threatens to throw them out next day if the rent is not paid. Peggy and Bob have words over Slim and the latter runs away. He meets a messenger from Villa's army, who shows him where he has some powder cached under a tree. Just as Slim is preparing to deliver the powder two guards approach and the messenger hurries across the boundary. Bob catches up with Slim and asks him for the money for the rent. Slim tells Bob that the powder in the box is lace, and if he will carry it across the border he will get the rent money. Bob takes the box and is arrested as a smuggler. Bob goes to Villa's camp and is made an officer; Slim gets into camp, and the epaulets are removed from Bob's shoulders and placed on Slim's. Peggy is captured and brought into the camp, but makes her escape. Bob is scheduled to be shot at sunrise and Slim desires to do the shooting. Peggy is on her way with the rescue party. Slim misses Bob, who sails away on the cannon toward the rescuers. Villa is disgusted with Slim's marksmanship and shoots at him; the powder explodes and Slim takes refuge in the corner where the powder has been hidden. Slim goes across the line, where the United States sheriff arrests him as a smuggler. On one side is Villa with epaulets begging him to accept a commission, and on the other is the sheriff with handcuffs waiting to arrest him. Slim looks at Villa, bids him good-bye and turns toward the United States. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
