- This soldier, who is on duty to watch for smugglers on the frontier, prides himself on his keen eye, and does not suspect anything when a couple in an auto pass him and cross the boundary. They meet their smuggler confederates, and two bundles of goods are dressed up to resemble ladies and are strapped into seats in the huge car. Then the chauffeur goes along with his load for a way, but soon something happens, the car stops, and he gets out to fix it. While he is thus engaged, the gendarme comes along and begins to flirt with one of the heavily-veiled ladies. The lady's failure to respond is no surprise to him but he keeps on ogling and occasionally tickling her in an attempt to win a smile from her. Of course, the figure cannot respond but his keen eye fails to detect the ruse and he keeps on flirting with her. Soon the chauffeur has fixed, the machine and, as he is about to start, the gendarme attempts to kiss one of the ladies by throwing his arm around her. The machine suddenly starts off and he is left with the lady's head in his arms. Then the truth dawns upon him and he runs after the car. The auto crosses trails with another machine, and when the officer reaches the spot he follows the wrong machine, which also has two ladies as passengers. He chases it all the way to the frontier post, and he arrives out of breath just as the machine is about to pass. He shouts a warning and tells the other soldiers his experience, but they laugh at him. To prove what he says, he jumps into the auto and seizes one of the ladies; but she happens to be very much alive and the buncoed gendarme finishes up much the worse for wear.—Moving Picture World synopsis
