Percy is married, but this does not prevent his acting the gentleman to young and pretty customers. One day Percy is doing his best to meet the requirements of an attractive girl when a stout matron demands immediate attention. Percy tells her she must wait. The lady summons the floorwalker, who gives Percy his paycheck. Percy goes home discouraged. His little wife cheers him up and a bright idea strikes them. They will go west. Percy and his wife arrive at a small western town at a time when the populace is wrought up over the announcement that a reward is offered for the capture of Bed Pete. The cowboys threaten untold deeds of valor by which they intend to capture their marauder. Big Sam, a bad man is especially violent in his designs and it looks black for Red Pete. Percy takes his little wife to the hotel and sets forth to look the town over. He sees the notice and his courage ebbs; he does not approve of violence. He is glad that his wife made him put those two pistols in his pocket. The day is warm and Percy is very dry. He asks a cowboy where he can get a drink. The cowboy tells him, "in there." Percy enters nervously; it is a saloon. He arrives at the bar as Big Sam is about to settle an argument with a six-shooter. Percy requests a glass of water and is immediately the center of attraction. Percy repeats his mild request. It is too much and Big Sam takes matters in hand. He tells Percy that Red Eye is the drink in these parts, and being thirsty he will drink Red Eye and the other gentlemen in the establishment will drink with and on him. Percy is alarmed and backs away. He draws the guns and is astonished at the manner in which the men put up their hands. He gets a brilliant idea. "I am Bad Pete," he cries. He makes the bar man take off his apron and wrap all the cowboys' guns in it. He lines them up against the bar, makes Big Sam stand on his head and forces them to drink water. He makes his getaway in haste and runs like a hare to the hotel, where he collapses. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
