He sends a letter to her father, Signer Dedough, threatening him with death unless Citronella becomes Mrs. Guiseppe. Terrified, Dedough secures Ham and Bud to work on the case. The two Sherlocks accidentally pass the shack in which Guiseppe's gang hangs out. The desperado prepares a bomb. To test its strength, he lights the fuse and throws it out of the window. It explodes just as the sleuths are passing. Bud is blown into the next county, while Ham is hurled into the desperado's den. He is promptly bound. The gang prepares to torture him. Guiseppe, with another bomb under his coat, departs to wreak vengeance upon Dedough. Bud sees the bandit. The two are of the same size and build. Disguising himself as Guiseppe, Bud enters the den and saves Ham. The two hasten to the Dedough residence. Guiseppe is in the house and is terrifying Citronella's father. The bandit informs the latter that death will be his portion unless Citronella becomes Mrs. Guiseppe before 6 o'clock. Ham and Bud enter the house. The two mistake each other for bandits. The result is a pistol duel. Guiseppe, alarmed, endeavors to escape, but is captured by a regular policeman. The latter takes his prisoner into the house. There, Guiseppe is triumphantly seized by Ham and Bud. Indignant because of this high-handed procedure, the officer grabs hold of the detectives and lugs them off to jail.
