Desperate Desmond is mad clear through. Rosamond has written him to cease pestering her. Desmond thirsts for revenge. Rounding up Gomgotz and his gang of wild men, he sets up a trap for the lovers and at the psychological moment springs it. Claude is marched up to the mouth of a flaming volcano and unceremoniously thrown in. Rosamond, like a true heroine, still refuses to marry the villain. Down the hill straggle Desmond, the wild men and the fair captive. The volcano is just a secret distillery, and the moonshiners volunteer to aid Claude. Barrel after barrel of the good old stuff is rolled out of the crater and then rolled down the bill after the descending party. Desmond, Gomgotz, Rosamond, et al, are bowled over without much ado. The villain is easily captured and Rosamond once more reposes in the arms of her hero. Fire and water for Desmond. He is placed in a barrel topped with a burning one and pushed out to sea. Without watching the fiend’s finish, Claude and Rosamond leisurely ride away. Desmond manages to burn two holes through the sides of his habitation, grabs two stray oars and rows safely ashore. Reinforced by Gomgotz’s men, he starts in hot pursuit after the lovers. Claude’s vigilant ear apprises him of impending trouble. With Rosamond by his side, he dashes away and crosses the railroad trucks just ahead of a train. Without stopping, the lovers ride to the fort and summon the soldiers. Captured a second time, Desmond is sentenced to be shot. Twelve boys in blue level their rifles at him, take deliberate aim and, curse the luck! there is Claude embracing beautiful Rosamond.
