Roaring Bill, fresh from the west, pays a friendly visit to his cousin and wife. Bill has a playful habit of shooting up the flat at short intervals. During dinner, the wild one is asked to describe his experience in a hold-up. His attentive listeners follow him through the various stages until at the climax, in order to better illustrate his point, he pulls "44s." Mounted on steeds such as we were wont to ride in our childhood days, Bill turns the family into a "nut" factory and they gallop madly from room to room. The two young children of the house, disgusted with their wild uncle's peculiar acting, hold him up with a cap pistol and flatten him out in the literal sense of the word; roll him up in a neat bundle labeled. "To the West," and dump him into the auto in which he arrived. The last seen of Bill he is disappearing in a cloud of smoke, making a zig zag course through autos, trolleys and wagons.
