The men folks of Cow Flat shave themselves and all grow whiskers and long hair, with the exception of the bald-headed ones. The hair question soon becomes a serious matter to Schultz. Starvation looms ahead. At last his end becomes so apparent, that, to hasten matters, he hikes down to the railroad crossing and lays his neck across the rail. Coming along the ties to Cow Flat is "The Dancing Girl" dramatic troupe via the "Shanks' Mare Limited." Gail, the sweet leading lady of the outfit, spots the desperate Schultz. She also sees with horror the oncoming train. It was a narrow squeak, but Gail saves Schultz. Then each see something of interest in the other. She feeds him with a string of frankfurters and gives him a pass to the afternoon matinee. The whole population of Cow Flat turns out to witness the performance of "The Dancing Girl." Gail becomes mighty popular with the men folks. The troupe, however, goes broke when their manager skips out with their coin. Poor Gail is left in an awful fix. Her position without one cent is horrible. But she again meets Schultz, who has a brilliant inspiration. "With you as my manicurist, business would hum," declares Shultz. The bargain is sealed. Does business hum? Well, you should see the maddening jam of the long-haired Cow Flatters scrambling for their turn to have their "paws" scraped by the "late leadin' lady." But the "late leadin' lady" will not stand for their disgusting whiskers. She refuses to touch a "paw" until all their faces are shaved clean. Schultz, therefore, does a rushing business. Along come a pair of expert French barbers. They are looking for a likely investment. They see the apparently immense business Schultz controls and lose no time closing a deal with him for five thousand dollars. The overjoyed Schultz and Gail then make a getaway. "I'm elopin' with the leadin' lady," is the contents of the note the disgusted chagrined Cow Flatters find after Schultz flees. And the pair of Frenchies then scratch their chins in bewilderment at the sudden exodus of customers from the barber shop. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
