Both propose at different times and are accepted. Arthur returns and finds his rival with Emma. A fight ensues which results in Emma's father ordering his daughter to choose one or the other of her lovers. This being too much of a mental effort, her father decides that the first lover to bring the Justice of Peace may claim Emma as his bride. The lovers dash off. Gus gains possession of an ancient hack and, arriving at the cross roads, changes the signs, thereby confusing his rival, who takes the wrong road. Gus finds the Justice, loads him into the hack and starts madly back, which results in the carriage breaking in half, depositing the Justice in the road. Gus, not hearing the calls of the Justice, continues madly back to the house. Arthur, on arriving in the wrong town, is mistaken for a horse thief and is thrown into jail, but in time, by a supreme effort, he tears the bars apart and escapes, followed by the Justice who arrested him. They arrive at Emma's home and the Justice finds that Arthur is the wrong man and makes amends by performing the ceremony. Gus arrives in time to hear the final words pronounced. The other Justice, enraged by the treatment received, follows close on his trail. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
