Mustang and Slim are on very friendly terms. The same may be said of their wives, and when Slim's wife warns him that it is Friday the 13th and beware of friendship, he scorns her. He and Mustang go to the saloon together while their wives exchange visits. Sophie, Slim's wife, has made some doughnuts, and her son, after filling his pockets, jumps out the window and runs to meet Mustang's son. The two boys fight over the doughnuts. The old squire happens along, but is unable to part them. He rushes to Slim's home where the two mothers are talking over the village gossip. They hurry to pull their boys apart, but instead become angry and fight. By this time Mustang and Slim have heard the rumpus and hasten to the rescue. They too become angry and fight. The boys finally make up and while their parents are out in front fighting, Slim's son sneaks in and gets the doughnuts. They retire behind the back fence to eat the doughnuts and fix up their difficulties.
