Summary
In the quaint village, Lee, the fireman, prioritizes his checkers over the town's fire, until a determined resident threatens to take his grievances to the fire chief. As Lee's firemen, comprised of only two members, navigate their way to rescue a burning house, they face a series of mishaps, including an ash can covering the hydrant. Amidst the chaos, Lee finds himself entangled in a romantic rivalry with the town sheriff over the village belle, Bartine.

Synopsis
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.
