His only support is a tree against which he is leaning. Here he reads and appropriates for future use a notice tacked thereto which offers a reward of $500 for the capture of Black Gomez, a bandit. At the boundary line post, one side reading "U.S." and the other "Mexico," he meets Farmer Brown who is staggering along the road under a heavy load of trouble. Jerry learns that Gomez has captured Brown's daughter Agie and robbed him; if Jerry saves his daughter he may have her for his wife, and Brown produces her photo. Jerry throws a sickly smile when he looks at it. With the reward in mind Jerry promises Brown, leans exhausted against the sign post, which, not being well secured, turns as he keeps turning with it, until the signs are in reverse position. Jerry reaches a Mexican roadhouse which happens to be owned by Gomez. Gomez has brought in Agie and sent her to a room. All the girls fall in love with the flirtatious Jerry, but Juanita takes him to herself and entertains him royally. On reaching his room Jerry writes a note to Juanita saying he will be at her window later and fly with her. By mistake he slips the note under Agie's door. Garbed in a female costume he finds in his room, Jerry boldly attempts to leave the house through the only exit, the barroom, but is chased by the irate Gomez and his pals. He evades them, returns and plants a ladder at what he believes Juanita's window. Just as he reaches the top of the ladder Juanita lets fly the contents of a water pitcher onto his head. Thinking he had made a mistake in the room, Jerry plants the ladder at another window, which proves to be Agie's, for she had found the note and was ready to flee and is heavily veiled. Close to the United States border they are held up by Gomez. Jerry points to the sign, Gomez is astonished to read "U.S.," weakly yields his gun to Jerry and obeys orders to step over the line, but really into the land of the free. Meeting a constable a little further on Jerry tells him about Gomez being in the United States, aids in his capture and gets the reward. With Agie still veiled Jerry hurries to a Justice of the Peace, but when she raises her veil he is almost prostrated, but manages to make a safe getaway on a constable's bicycle.
