The Count received word through a matrimonial agency that Sophie Clutts will inherit a million dollars and goes to her father's hotel to win her hand. Mustang Pete, however, is in love with Sophie, and when he discovers the Count is making love to her, proceeds to insult him. The Count challenges Mustang to a duel. Being a blacksmith, he chooses sledge hammers as weapons. The Count is shocked and draws a revolver which is almost as deadly as a pea shooter, and tells the blacksmith to draw. Mustang pulls out two colts about the size of a small cannon and fires in the air. The Count flees and Mustang is free to woo his sweetheart in peace.
