While Tom boasts of his bravery and marksmanship the stagecoach arrives and excited passengers tell of a recent hold-up. Tom is inclined to laugh at the Sheriff for his negligence and declares that no one could hold him up. Nell and Bess, Tom’s sisters, determine to teach the braggart a lesson. A few days later when Tom starts for town in his auto, the girls unload his revolver and substitute blanks. They then hasten to disguise themselves as bandits and proceeding to the highway await the return of the boaster. It happens that Tom loans his machine to a friend, Bagley, and that worthy gentleman’s identity being lost by ulster and goggles, the girls relieve him of his valuables, thinking him to be their brother. As Bagley rides out of sight he fires at the supposed bandits and a bullet pierces Nell’s hat. This throws the girls into consternation as they cannot account for the efficiency of a revolver which they believe is loaded with blanks. Their first surprise is mild compared to what greets them when they return home and hide their disguises. Tom arrives and incidentally displays watch and purse. The girls then inspect the captured valuables and find they belong to Bagley. Fully repentant, the amateur bandits set forth that night to return Bagley’s belongings. The unfortunate man has become apprehensive and engages the sheriff to protect his house. The girls fire therefore captured by the vigilant official and the manner in which they clear themselves brings a laughable finale which is best told in the film.
