For many, the first encounter with Red Hot Rivals is to establish Fred Hibbard as a true visionary of the 1922s.
Lee is the village fireman, whose checkers come before the town fire. However the man whose place is burning figures if Lee doesn't come to his fire he will take his wheeled restaurant to the fire chief. And he does. Lee's firemen are the finest the county can boast of - the two of them. When it comes to finding the hydrant they can't do it - just because some careless automobilist placed an ash can over it. The village belle is wooed by Lee and the town sheriff, but Lee seems to be holding the winning hand. He invites Bartine to have dinner with him on the back part of the engine, to which a coffee urn and a cake oven is attached. A roaring fire causes Lee and his faithful followers to go to the rescue, but an untimely explosion brings the house down - in the words of the actor - and Lee's lone rival and himself bring themselves from under the debris.
