Plot
This plot comes from the November, 1916 Moving Picture World magazine:[3]
A quite humorous reel with Plump and Runt as the chief laughmakers. The story burlesques in an entertaining manner the old plot of the shipment of gold to a lonely express office and the conspiracy to steal it. Runt is the bad man and Plump the hero. Plump (Babe Hardy) and Runt (Billy Ruge) are assisted by Edna Reynolds and Florence McLoughlin.
