The Count, who coyly confesses being the greatest hunter in the world, enters the lists for Ethel’s affections against Bud. Minnie, a man-eating tiger, has escaped and Ethel promises to wed the captor of the terrible jungle beast. The Count bravely goes a’hunting, but when he comes face to face with Minnie, takes to the tall trees. Bud meets the gentle brute after she has treed his rival. Immediately, the young man finds urgent business elsewhere. Minnie follows. Just as she catches up with Bud, she steps on a thorn. Bud falls and thus the tiger overhauls him. Acting upon Minnie’s dumb pleas, Bud extracts the thorn, and when the tiger’s attention is distracted, hits the high spots for home. The Count reaches Ethel’s home first, but finds him describing his harrowing fight with Minnie. The Count declares that he has killed the beast. Unfortunately, Minnie takes a notion to appear upon the scene and thus proves the bold hunter to be a member in good standing of the Ananias Club. The Count promptly flees, with Minnie close behind. Ethel, convinced that she always loved Bud anyway, falls into his arms.
