Conklin places important papers which he takes from the general's table into Swain's boot, causing much trouble when the general misses them and catches Swain making love to his daughter. Conklin swears he saw Swain steal the papers and the general gives him a body-guard and sends him to arrest Swain. Conklin approaches Swain, removes the papers from his boot, and, after a fight, Swain is dragged to the guard-house. The general, on learning that the papers have been found on Swain, orders him shot much to Conklin's delight. Dora, overhearing the order for her sweetheart's execution, grabs a cloak and runs to the guard-house, followed by Conklin, who tries to sympathize and makes love at the same time. Dora spurns him, hastens to the guardhouse and changes clothes with Swain, who makes his escape disguised as a girl. Conklin. seeking revenge, decides to chloroform the girl as she comes out of the guardhouse and as Swain, disguised, comes out Conklin follows him and while trying to chloroform him Swain realizes the situation and thoroughly thrashes Conklin. The girl is taken from the guardhouse, placed on the brink of a grave recently dug and a firing squad is given orders. After the beating Conklin confesses his plans to Swain, who grabs Conklin by the neck and dashes to Dora's rescue. He arrives just in time. Dora is released and Conklin put in her place ready to be shot. The order is given, Conklin dodges the bullets. He jumps backward into the grave, throws up the breast-works and with guns, which he finds in the grave, scatters the whole staff and escapes. Returning later, he kidnaps Dora, tying her behind a target, which is about to be used for practice by Swain and his men. Conklin hides. Swain, being a poor shot with a cannon, shoots a tree from under Conklin and, after shooting through the target several times, looks through glasses and sees Dora's predicament. While Swain and his men are releasing Dora Conklin runs to the cannon and starts firing at them. During this gun fire, Conklin creates consternation by blowing up hillsides, farm houses, cattle, etc., and finally takes refuge behind a well where he is perceived by the general and his army. After all the ammunition is gone the general enters Conklin's fortification and ends his career with a large brick, thereby adding another medal to his large collection.
