A Bully Affair

A stranded vaudeville performer sits on a trunk at the railway station, hungry and without funds. Near him sit two rubes reading a dime novel. From what John overhears, he gets an inspiration, takes the book from them and reads about a bull-fight. Opening his trunk, he takes out costumes before the amazed gaze of the rubes, then leads Si and Josh to a vacant lot, where he outlines his plans. The three men then go to a general store, where they letter a sign announcing a great bull-fight, and tack the sign up before the store. Later John, the actor, flirts with Sally Simpkins, who jilts her beau for John's attentions. The day of the bull-fight arrives. Si and Josh are the "bull." John, dressed as a genuine toreador, meets and vanquishes the make-believe bull amid riotous applause from his audience who throw him money. He wishes for another bull, finds a pot of whitewash and tells the rubes to go out and paint their costume to represent another bull. They get hold of a bottle of whiskey. Second bull comes upon the field drunk. Duped and angry, the audience rush onto the field and John flees with the bull. As the film closes John is seen still running.
