When Willie becomes insistent, Iva informs him that he must prove as heroic as Hen Boggs. Willie therefore schemes to "get the Chief's goat," and this he does in a very effective manner. Securing a large augur, Willie bores a number of holes in the boardwalk leading to the Chief's house. He then sets an old barn on fire and manages to be with the volunteer fire department when they arrive on the ground. Meanwhile, the alarm is carried to the Chief, who rushes from the house only to catch his wooden leg in the augur holes. By the time the Chief extract's his phony limb the fire is extinguished and Willie is the hero of the day. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
