[3] The film opens to Buddy, who, ambling through a Mexican town, strums a guitar and sings "Monterey" (to the tune of "Madrid").
Buddy slips one of the lively beans into the mouth of a man at the bar's piano, and he begins to play with his toes.
The people are roused by this, and begin happily dancing and drinking; a makeshift mariachi band plays in tune.
Enter the outlaw Pancho, (a dead ringer for "Viva Villa" star Wallace Beery) who does some fancy gunwork to frighten the townsfolk.
After tying his horse's tail to a hole in a stake (licking the hair in place much like threading a needle), the villain steps into the saloon and starts firing.
Pancho puts one of his guns to Buddy's head, but declares that he likes the little fellow, and commands him to play the piano (into which he has been backed.)
The cartoon concludes on a friendly note; in the fashion of Beery's character Butch from The Big House, Pancho takes Buddy by the shoulder and announces that he was "only fooling."
