They have a sort of arrangement whereby whenever they want to go anywhere, either one or the other rides in the wagon. Today, for instance, Maudie rides while Queenie pulls in the shafts; tomorrow it's vice versa. Going along the road a Ford, in which are two wops arguing about whether pigs feet are a dessert or not, gets in the way. Queenie dumps the Ford into a ditch. Along comes the pals' mistress, a young and pretty girl. She is riding in an auto with a young villain who gets fresh, then tries to kidnap her. Queenie pursues and the girl jumps from the auto to Queenie's back, then faints. Between them, Queenie and Maudie revive the girl and take her to the farm. But the villain holds a mortgage on the farm and comes to collect; either the girl or the mortgage, or, better yet, he'll take Queenie and Maudie in lieu of either. Heartbroken, the girl and her pop are forced to let the two animals go. The villain takes them to his farm; then Queenie and Maudie have considerable fun, frighten most everybody on the farm, eat the farmer's meals, etc. The villain hires two burglars to rob a safe in the local national bank. The girl's sweetheart is an employee of the bank and the villain plans to have him blamed for the theft. But Maudie and Queenie overhear the plot, and disguised as ghosts they go to the bank, overpower the crooks and the villain, lock them in the bank vault until the police come. All ends well when Queenie and Maudie lead the girl and her sweetheart to a nearby preacher. Written by Universal Weekly, December 16, 1922 See less
