They fall over each other's feet in the course of courtship, and this leads to a challenge from the Major. The Judge accepts. Dr. Dedham, who also loves the widow, brings her the news, and she is delighted at the thought of being the heroine of a duel, so long as only blank cartridges are used. The Judge and the Major take dramatic farewell of the widow, the effect being somewhat spoiled by the personal clashes between the two, but their alert seconds prevent bloodshed. In the morning the duel takes place, and after the second shot the Major gets suspicious and examines the guns. He finds them loaded with blanks. The seconds explains and the Judge suggests that they turn the tables on Daisy. A can of red paint is produced and with bandages in the doctor's surgical kit the rivals are turned into two very promising candidates for the undertaker. They come back to town, and on stretchers are brought into the presence of their charmer, who promptly has hysterics and flees from the scene, followed by the doctor, who administers an opiate in the shape of an engagement ring. They go to announce their engagement and the duelists are in high glee over the joke until they see the ring. Then they do not know who the joke is on.
