Slim to the Rescue

Slim and Oscar woo Molly; when she prefers Slim, Oscar swears vengeance and enlists into service two crooks who attempted to hold him up. Molly is captured, taken to the Old Mill, and tied to a barrel of gunpowder with a burning fuse. Molly succeeds in tearing a piece of cloth from her dress, writes a call for help on it with the aid of a nail and blood, and allows the piece to blow away. Oscar and the villains repair to a quiet spot and indulge in a card game. Meanwhile, Slim is waiting for Molly; tired and peeved, he falls asleep, and is awakened by Molly's note fluttering around his face. He reads it, notifies the Bungleville police force, and starts to the rescue. Meanwhile the fuse burns lower. But Slim arrives just in the nick of time. Oscar and the villains return to find that Molly has been rescued. Foiled, Oscar throws down his cigarette and it falls into the barrel of powder. A terrific explosion results, blowing Oscar and the crooks up into the clouds.
