- A soldier captures the entire Mexican army when inspired by the love of a girl.
- Casey is with the troops on the border. The boys send him to get the key to the flagpole, and he is bawled out by the sergeant. He is put on sentry duty, where he imagines a burro is the Mexican army, and alarms the camp. It is then he meets the sergeant's sister. Casey is afraid to fight, so he remains behind. The girl thinks he has stayed to protect her, and makes a hero of him. The boys return to take it out on Casey, and find him with the girl. They drive him away. Casey is made to do the dirty work around the camp. The girl tells the boys, who are all in love with her, that she will marry the one who secures for her the Mexican blanket worn by the leader of the bandits. They all are licked by the Mexicans and return without the blanket. Each soldier, unknown to the other, tries to bribe Casey. The result is that Casey is deluged with bribes, and decides to attempt to make good. The Mexicans have left the camp to attack the Americans. All the boys, with the exception of the sergeant, wander away with the girl for a picnic. The Mexicans arrive, overpower the sergeant, and make away with the machine gun. Casey arrives at their camp, finds the guard asleep, and puts the Mexican blanket under his coat. The American captain comes on a visit of inspection and finds the outpost deserted and the gun gone. When the boys return with the girl he orders them put in the guardhouse. Casey, among the bandits, stands the abuse of the Mexicans until they start to trample on the girl's handkerchief, which he has long treasured. He knocks down the lot of them and starts away with Mexicans after him. He runs to the gun, wheels it around, and turns it loose, capturing the entire Mexican army. He then ties them with a rope to the front of the machine gun and makes them pull it back across the Mexican border. He arrives in the American camp just as the boys are being taken off to the guard house. He turns the Mexicans over to the captain. The girl falls in his arms when she discovers that he has brought the blanket as well as the gun and all the bandits.
