Connem's voice and Pearl's clog dance attract a crowd. After the performance, the fakir offers for sale his liniment, which he guarantees to cure everything from smallpox to the itch. Jim, a cowboy, buys a bottle of the liniment after Connem has rubbed some of it on his lame back. Although the stuff almost kills him, Jim vows that it has done him a world of good. The result is that the "medicine" sells like hot cakes. The following morning finds Jim unable to leave his bunk. His comrades find that his back is like a piece of raw beef as the result of Connem's liniment. Vowing vengeance, they leave for the hotel where the fakir is stopping. Connem and Pearl see them approaching. Dashing up to their room, the fakirs dress up two dummies in their clothes, after which they dive out of the window and drop to the top of a freight train passing below. The infuriated cowboys burst into the room. They assault the dummies and learn of their mistake. Rushing to the window they see Connem and Pearl riding toward the next town atop of the freight train. While the cowboys rage, the fakirs munch on a couple of sandwiches which Connem has fished out of his pockets. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
