George Ovey -- under his character name of 'Jerry' -- is standing by the sign on the US-Mexico Border when farmer Robert Kenyon informs him his daughter, Louise Horner, has been kidnapped by the bandito George George. If George -- that is Jerry -- will rescue her, they can be married. As soon as he gets to the site, Jerry prefers the beautiful, hot-temered senorita Belle Bennett. This does not please George George.
Ole! Too many Georges, if you ask me. The gags are standard, but well executed, and Ovey combines the usual comic vices of lust, cowardice, and lying. Ovey wended a not unusual path in show biz. He had been a minstrel show player, entered the movies about 1915 at Keystone, and was soon headlining his own comedy shorts. He made his last one in 1922, and then dropped into supporting, and then uncredited roles. He made his last screen apperance in 1951 and died that year, age 80.
