Archie arrived in the land of the cowboy and miner arrayed in Western clothes and carrying a cute little revolver. Almost at once he was confronted by "Black Bart," a notorious bad man. Terrified and almost dead with fear, Archie in the excitement drew his little toy revolver. Somehow it went off. "Black Bart," who had killed twenty men and whom the sheriffs had tried in vain to arrest, immediately surrendered, and Archie took him to jail. Immediately Archie became a hero and he certainly did make the most of it. Lillian Noble, the prettiest girl in the county, fell in love with him, declaring he was a real man. But the next day "Black Bart" escaped from the jail, leaving a note informing Archie that he had submitted to being arrested merely because he pitied the pour little man. Later Archie tried once again to display his bravery, and fell down so completely he became a laughing stock. Lillie, however, never laughed at him. She continued to think that he was a bold, brave man and there were wedding bells for them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
