The rubes, however, think that she's a live one and they all endeavor to make a hit. Two of them are particularly persistent, but they get the cold shoulder like the rest. They decide to use diplomacy and proceed to get acquainted with the stage manager. He is invited to go on a hunting trip which turns out to be a "flivver." Reading in a magazine of a clever scheme whereby hunters used a figure of a cow as a "blind" to approach their game, the two swains set out to do the same stunt. They procure a "property" cow and sally forth, one as the hind-quarters and the other in the front. All goes well until a real bull spies them, and then the two doughty hunters take it on the run. Up hill and down dale, right into the heart of the town, the blood-thirsty bull chases them with an ever increasing crowd bringing up the rear. They finally evade the bull and reach the town theater where they sink down exhausted. The barker for the show, seeing the immense crowd which surges around the fallen "hunters" takes advantage of the opportunity and loudly advertises that "this is only a small part of the show, the rest is inside. Step right up for your tickets and don't crowd." Too much bull proves to be the proper antidote for a bum show. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
