Stan is the only westerner on the street until he enters a saloon which has soldiers watching a girl in uniform (and wearing a fez) dancing on a table. Stan blows the foam off his beer and it hits the officer in the face. He beckons Stan over. He is about to leave when the girl says Stop. He flips a coin and decides to join the soldiers.
Stan is then in uniform chatting with the girl. A posh lady stops to speak to him. Stan drops a bottle of beer and the spray soaks everyone.
On parade Stan is ten seconds behind the rest and struggles to find a place in the row. The men form a ladder of rifles and he climbs a wall. The officer kisses each man on the cheek as he gives out medals. Stan pushes the officer away when he goes to kiss him.
Stan is locked in the stockade but the door falls off. He is stood against a pole to be shot. Alongside a man digs a grave. They blindfold him and prepare to shoot, but the girl rides up and saves him
