Lee has to put up some money out of his pocket to make good. Queenie, the horse, comes in for shoeing. Lee tells her to get a pair of shoes for another little horse there. Queenie brings the blacksmith's shoes and mutilates them. The blacksmith becomes furious at Lee. Lee loses his job. On his way home, Lee buys a bottle of Nervo.
