Ham, seeing Bud smile at Tottie, heaves his baton in the direction of his former chum. Bud, perceiving Ham flirting with the girl, lets fly at the former with his drum stick. When Ham goes back to Tottie's dressing room for the purpose of presenting her with an apple, he finds Bud ahead of him with a bouquet of flowers. The two get into a rough-and-tumble battle. Bill Jones enters the room. At Tottie's request, he manhandles Ham and Bud. The two foes combine forces. Turning upon Bill they give him a beating. That evening, Ham visits Tottie once more. Again he finds Bud present. Grabbing him by the nape of the neck, he heaves Bud through the door. Jones is just entering and Bud lands squarely into the pit of the man's stomach. Jones promptly loses all interest in the proceedings. When he comes to, he tackles Ham and Bud. By the time he gets through, the rivals makes the discovery that Tottie, the idol of their hearts, is none other than Jones' wife. Shaking each other by the hand, Ham and Bud bid a sad adieu to the cruel world and head for the river. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
