The Sign of the Cucumber

Red Nose Pete arrives in town with his pal, planning to rob the bank. Eva, the daughter of the Justice of the Peace, is in love with Bob Hardboil, the sheriff. He has a cucumber birthmark on his arm. He receives a letter saying that Red Nose and his pal are on the way and sees in the enclosed photograph that the pal is his double. But he thinks that his birthmark will protect him. Red Nose gets into the safe and finds four dollars. The sheriff calls a posse. Red Nose and his pal fasten a slice of cucumber on the pal's arm. They hold up the sheriff, tie him to a tree, take his clothes, return to the town and are received with joy. The pal locks Red Nose in jail, intending to return and let him out later, when he has safely captured the ten thousand dollars reward. Eva receives the man who she thinks is her hero. When the sheriff appears in town he is taken for Red Nose, and is put in jail. Red Nose begins to fear that his pal is not straight with him so he writes a note and sends it to the sheriff. It says that he can prove that the sheriff is what he claims to be if he will help him to escape. They escape by butting down the wall. In the meantime the false sheriff is being married to Eva. The real one comes in. The one discovers that he has lost his cucumber. There is general shooting. The house blows up and the false sheriff with it. The real lovers are united.
