- A farce set in and around a western gold mine featuring a tough foreman who takes no prisoners, and a donkey who kicks everything and everybody within his kicking range. Lige both chases and is chased but he is mostly chased.
- The superintendent of the Acme Gold Mine is as nervous as a lone hair on a bald head in a hurricane. He has just received a telegram from the owners saying that gold is missing-and that while they don't exactly suspect him, still there's such a thing as carrying a joke too far-and if he can't stop the leak, to get out. While he is worrying about this, Lige, a flivver ale man, with more nerve than a Florida real estate agent, makes his appearance on the scene and tries to sell the worried superintendent a flivver. That doesn't make a hit with the superintendent, but he makes a deal with him. If he can find out where the missing gold is going, the Superintendent will buy a flivver. Lige goes out to the mine to find the leak. The foreman is a bad guy-so tough he eats railroad spikes and spits locomotives. He has the nasty habit of knocking everybody down who looks at him and Lige suspects that he knows a lot about the missing gold. Lige meet Estelle, daughter of the superintendent. She is very easy to look at and Lige resolves more than ever to find the crooks who are stealing the gold. He gets down into the mine and through a series of incidents gets on the trail of the thieves. but can not find where the gold i hidden until a big boulder drops from the side of the mine and discloses the cache. The hard-hearted foreman and his pals discover that their hiding place has been found and try to do away with the young flivver salesman. But he out wits them and hunts a car-load of high explosive into the mine at just the right time to blow the rascally foreman and his crew higher than the high cost of living.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
