Buster and Brooks are desperate rivals for Henrietta's hand. Brooks rescues Henrietta's doll, which she in fright has dropped in front of a speeding velocipede. They are returning home when Buster and Brooks have an argument. Buster is knocked down, Henrietta is angry. Buster is carried into the house, placed in bed, falls asleep, and dreams that Henrietta is giving a lawn fete. Buster calls and is invited to join. Brooks appears on the scene, finds Buster and Henrietta laughing and enjoying themselves. He, in a rage, goes to two desperate characters. Red McGinnes and Butch Hogan, and with a promise of great wealth (a nickel), enlists them on his side. They return to the garden and find Buster and Henrietta alone. They pounce upon them and drag them away to a deserted hut by a railroad. Henrietta is locked in the hut, while the desperadoes bind Buster to the rails. The train is approaching and Henrietta is in despair. She breaks the door, crawls through, and just pulls Buster from the rails as the Overland Limited dashes by, and Buster wakes up.
