As he leaves the shop with amorous eyes centered upon the girls he runs into Long Green and Tad. Tad gives Bragg a sound beating but he is finally rescued by Long Green. Later he is seen in a corner saloon relating to his friends how, in an affair of honor, he rescued two young and lovely ladies from the insults of two brutal ruffians. The scene fades into the shop where he performed the "gallant rescue" and later owing to his eloquence at the bar of justice, the ruffians are sentenced to eighty-five years imprisonment. The tender, cooing young ladies receive him into their home and bestow upon him evidences of their warmest affections. Again the scene fades into the saloon where Bragg concludes his tale. Abruptly Long Green and Tad enter. Tad makes a great effort to lick Bragg again but is prevented by Long Green. Bragg makes a dash for the door but is drawn back by his friends who make him buy drinks for all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
