Slippery Slim and Sophie are deeply in love. Slim incurs the enmity of Hiram Clutts, Sophie's father, and Mustang Pete. They swear vengeance. Mustang writes a note to Slim, signing Sophie's name, asking him to meet her in a cemetery. Slim finds a band of men waiting clad in sheets. He flees and asks Sophie to save him. She puts him in a trunk and when Mustang arrives she makes eyes at him and gets him to carry the trunk up to the preacher's house for her. She then lets him out. He forces Mustang to get into the trunk and locks him in. Mustang yells. Hiram hears, and lets him out just in time for them to see Sophie and Slim coming out of the parsonage.
