Jimmie is crazy to own a rifle and pesters his uncle to give him one for his birthday. Uncle indulges his little nephew and buys him a regular rifle of his heart's desire, and Jimmie proceeds to try his aim at shooting. His first practice proves quite erratic and both the large parlor mirror and chandelier suffer demolition. Father then takes an intervening hand, and after due reprimand, decides that Jimmie must only shoot outdoors. With this end in view he starts to make several targets to be placed on the garden wall. In the midst of placing glue on the rear of each target, papa is called away and Jimmie is left to complete the job. Julie comes in to surprise Jimmie, but he resents her disturbance and thoughtlessly pushes her on one of his targets. Later on Jimmie spies this target in the kitchen and little realizing its location on Julie's anatomy, takes aim and penetrates the bull's eye. This starts the comedy a rolling and up it keeps with ceaseless furor.
