They bother her very much, and in order to get rid of Moses she decides to elope. Moses finds her climbing down a ladder out of her bedroom window and, after being hit in the eye with her suitcase, pulls the ladder from beneath her feet, leaving her hanging in midair. Abe, meanwhile, has summoned two railroad tramps to his assistance, determined to capture Peggy. He instructs the tramps to get her "dead or alive." The tramps throw a bag over Moses' head while Abe and another old bachelor attempt to abduct Peggy. They tumble from the roof of the house. The tramps, meanwhile, put Moses into a wagon and drive off with him. Later both tramps fall off the wagon from too many ice creams. Peggy finally escapes. Meanwhile Moses and Abe fight for possession of a wagon. The wagon goes over a cliff. Abe and Moses hang to the side of the cliff fighting for a foothold and kicking each other unmercifully. Finally Abe is kicked off into the crowd below. A moment later Moses slips and comes tumbling after. Both make a fearful splash in the mud. The old man then mixes in and a free-for-all fight in the mud takes place between the love-mad bachelors. Written by
