When several installments of deputies have failed, Bill Sanders gets on the job himself. Bill not only knows how to juggle the 44 Colts, but he keeps gray matter in his skull. In going after Red Rube, he decides to rely on his brains instead of his hardware. He disguises himself as a tenderfoot, arms himself with a camera, and gets on Rube's trail. Things are warm and lively thereafter, but Sanders gets his man, and the honor of Alkali County is preserved.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Bill Saunders, sheriff of Alkali County, is given a warrant to serve upon Red Rube, the tough and "bully" of the county. In the usual manner he gives the warrant to one of his deputies to serve. This fellow finds Red Rube and holds him up at pistol's point, but imagine his surprise and dismay when Red Rube, by a sudden and unlooked-for move, disarmed him completely, so that he was forced to the tall timbers in quick time to the tune of a six-shot repeating Colt. Bill Gives the warrant next to two of his more dependable deputies, but these share the same fate as their predecessor, being completely knocked out by the terrible Rube. They also return without having achieved their purpose. The sheriff is provoked beyond measure and decides to take a hand himself at service this warrant. He plans to method of procedure in which gray matter and not fire arms should be the predominating force. He disguises himself as an English tenderfoot, knowing well that Red Rube's weakness was to taunt and torture newcomers from the east. He goes into a saloon where Rube and his associates are assembled. The sheriff is made to drink, apparently much against his will, and is put through many other indignities. When supposedly drunk, he offers to take each of their photographs. This was his opportunity. Red Rube in his rough manner pushes the others aside and demands that his picture shall be taken alone. Billy consents and steps close to Rube, placing the camera within a few feet of the latter. Cautioning rube to look straight into the camera, he presses the bulb, and from the instrument there is ejected ammonia water right into Rube's eyes. The tough puts his hands to his burning eyes, and while in that position Billy runs forward and places handcuffs upon him, thus unwitting the worst ruffian in that section. The rest of the men are taken aback by Billy's cleverness, but in the end hand it to him for being the shrewdest man in Alkali County.—The Film Index synopsis
