Arbuckle portrays a wandering individual who hitched a ride by hiding in a train's water tank. However, he is ejected from the train upon being caught pilfering food from the passengers. Pursued by a group of Indians with intentions of killing and consuming him, he seeks refuge in a town named Mad Dog Gulch. Inadvertently thwarting a robbery led by Wild Bill Hickup (St John) and his gang, he is appointed as the new bartender at the local establishment, "The Last Chance Saloon," by the town sheriff (Keaton).

Later, Hickup returns in an inebriated state, causing havoc in the bar. When he becomes aggressive towards a young lady, "Salvation Sue" (Lake), the Bartender and the sheriff attempt to remove him once again. Despite unsuccessful attempts to incapacitate him with broken bottles and even a gunshot to the back, they manage to subdue him by tickling him until he retreats.

Feeling humiliated, Hickup seeks revenge by kidnapping Sue and fleeing the town with his gang keeping the bartender and the sheriff at bay. The bartender eventually breaks free and pursues Hickup back to his shack while the sheriff holds off Hickup's men. After once again subduing Hickup through tickling, the bartender and Sue push his shack off a hill with him still inside.
