King also has three rather swift friends. One night after he successfully eludes his mother-in-law and joins his friends in a nearby thirst emporium, he thinks up a scheme to join them later and make a night of it: His friends are to tell his wife and mother-in-law that he has enlisted in the Army to fight the Mexicans. On their way, they stop at a costumer's and gather a nondescript uniform for his use in the battles to come. King arrives at his home, finds his wife in tears, and blames his actions on his mother-in-law. Meanwhile, the three friends have come across an old horse. They take it to King and amid tears, whoops, and yells, he sets out for the seat of war. On turning the corner he meets his friends in an auto. Giving the fiery steed a parting kick, he joins them and they start out to diminish the town liquor supply. The horse watches the auto out of sight, then trots back to King's house. The wife, seeing it return without its rider, thinks he must have already fallen a victim of a Mexican bullet. She announces her intentions of following her husband as a Red Cross nurse. That night in "wee sma' hours," King's friends bring him to his front door in a complete state of non compos mentis and, propping him up, ring the bell and beat it. King's mother-in-law comes to the door, marches King down to the station, and forces him to enlist. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
