Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 2 April 1921, page ?] A light-hearted, quick shooting cowboy fires a shot into a peaceful patron of a wild west soft drink emporium, and leads the sheriff a lively race before he is roped and hog-tied and stood on a barrel to be hung. Al’s dreams while he is dancing on air are of the city and his adventures among the secret stills of the big town. Before he is deprived of his entire supply of atmosphere he is rescued by a lovely cowgirl, who clips the rope with a shot from her trusty weapon and tumbles him to the ground. When the sheriff and his bunch discover that Al has been hung from the only barrel of booze left in the neighborhood, they forgive him everything, and open the barrel.
