Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The army was the goat while “Cap” and the lieutenant went off sporting. That made the army sore, so he went on strike and followed “Cap” and the lieutenant to town. They were certainly “buffaloing” the German saloon keeper, palming off before his near-sighted eyes a dummy as their million-dollar friend. But when they left and the German demanded the price of the drinks, there was little left of the dummy. “I am a murderer,” yelled the German. The army, looking in at the window, took advantage of this great war and “Cap” and the lieutenant were led off to the sheriff.
