Two Spanish brothers, Fred Mace and Mack Sennett, struggle to find a way to decide which of them will win the hand of a senorita (Mabel Normand). As with many of Sennett's comedies from this era, they forgot to add the funny bits.

Fred Ward and Mack Sennett are two Spanish brothers seeking the hand of a lovely senorita played by Mabel Normand. They provide some simple amusement in this pleasant little ditty. They cut cards, do shooting tricks with a gun and duel with swords to determine who will be the one to get Mable.

Dell Henderson also appears as a friend trying to help Mable decide between the two brothers. Unfortunately Henderson and Ward physically look alike with both being slightly rotund, so I was not sure on first viewing who was who. It is easier to see the difference in scenes where they are together, Henderson is taller and Ward has more of a baby-face.

The first shot, about 30 seconds, seemed ruined, but the rest of the shots are fine.

The movie amounts to a little comedy sketch that would work well on Saturday Night Live today. The ending is a cute surprise.

This is a Vitagraph Film, but not much different than the Biograph films the cast starred in that same momentous year of 1912.
