Chester Smelt was taking his daughter to Mocha-and-Java. Smelt had an unfailing eye for beauty, and Senorita Friola was a beautiful woman and was taking the same trip. His advances to her and the efforts of his daughter's rejected fiancé to elope with her caused poor Chester all manner of difficulty and threatened his life innumerable times. His last escapade landed him in Friola's stateroom and in Friola's bed and nothing but his ready tongue saved Chester Smelt from becoming Friola's sardine. He produced a letter which he had just written, stating: "Bearer is Secret Service man for those United States, looking for a woman spy." This statement satisfied every one and the Great Sea Scandal was over.

A one reel comedy in the nature of a burlesque on a western melodrama, concerning the love affairs of "Little Nell,'' weighing nearly two hundred pounds, and involving the rivalry of the sheriff, the hero and the bandit. Of ordinary interest, with a couple of laughs and considerable horseplay.

Last Chance Valley fairly wallowed in wickedness. To it came Professor Polonius Pinhead upon the back of his donkey and boon companion, King Solomon, and there he found two shrinking flowers of the valley. One's name was Violet and the other was Molly, whose expansion was in direct contrast to Violet's shrinking. She weighed 350 and could juggle a bean-shooter as well as any gun-toter. And, of course, there was a bad man. His name was Howling Hank, and he was a union villain licensed by the Moving Picture Theater Villains' Association, to wear the official black mustache and carry forty-seven shots in his six-shooter. Now, Howling Hank was determined that Violet should work in his dance-hall, and Molly was just as determined that Violet should not. Into this life and death struggle King Solomon, the donkey, kicked Professor Pinhead, and this elongated individual eventually obtained Dutch courage enough to route the villain, to save Violet, and to marry Molly.
