Jealous Jolts

The village queen loves Ben, a hay baler. Paddy, a cowboy, loves the girl and is favored by her parents. Ben hides in the doghouse and it is lassoed by Paddy and given a thrilling ride, nearly ending disastrously. He escapes, however, and is pressed into a bale of hay by the cowboy. Gypsy's father steals the hay and Gypsy is starting to feed the horse when she sticks the pitchfork into Ben. The next day Ben is buried alive by Paddy. The girl is tied to the chair by her father, but escapes, and doing so, sets fire to the house. She is pursued by her father and Paddy. Ben, who has escaped and donned a diver's suit, which he has filled with air, causing him to ascend to the cloud, is shot and falls at the girl's feet. The constable comes upon them and later they are married, while Ben is chased by his former wife, a washwoman.
