Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Tom loves Mandy. Papa objects. The town council orders Papa Higgins to round up an outlaw. Higgins encounters this desperado. He is too much for Higgins, who takes refuge in an auto truck. Bart, however, corners Mandy and protests his love. Mamma Higgins hears her cry and calls out the deputy constable. Bart sees them coming and forces the truck driver to aid him to escape. The truck starts off, carrying Mandy. Tom comes along in his auto. He offers his services. They all pile into his auto and give chase to the truck. Bart tries to fight his way with sticks of dynamite, with which the truck is loaded. Suddenly the dynamite explodes and the truck is blown skyward with its occupants. All, however, return safely to earth, Bart falling into the arms of the waiting constables. Higgins then lauds Tom for aiding the rescue and all opposition to a “city feller courtin’ Mandy” is removed.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 13 February 1915, page ?] A country constable, Black Bart, the villain, some country lovers, an auto chase, dynamite and the like furnish the ingredients of this fairly amusing offering. The lovers are blown into the air at the close.
