The Bazoo prints news events of the world several weeks after they occurred, as there is no telegraph line to Snailburg. and the news travels by slow freight. The threats of war against Mexico alarm the villagers who organize a volunteer force to repel possible invaders. They drill and maneuver under the directions of earnest officers and the neighbors look upon their efforts with awe and admiration. Two hobos come to town and devise a plot for a swell "feed" at the expense of the villagers. One takes a part of a Mexican spy while the other assumes the role of an American soldier in pursuit of the said spy. The volunteers at drill are dispersed in a panic when the supposed Mexican spy makes his appearance. They scatter in all directions, while the hobos feast upon huckleberry pie abandoned by one of the village housewives. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
