While at a saloon, having a drink, he forgot the can, but did not remember it until several miles from the place. He sends word to the bartender that the can contains nitro-glycerin. So, when the bartender receives the message, the tin is carefully conveyed to the cellar, and orders are given that no noise must be made, as it might affect the can. A hobo who is given a position as porter around the saloon, happens to see the can. He takes a good drink of it, and everybody thinking that he would explode, treats him with care. He gets into a scrap with an ex-prize fighter, who delivers him a stunning blow in the solar plexus. Everybody finding that no explosion occurred, thanks the pugilist, and start in pursuit of the fleeing hobo. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
