In evading the woman's husband he lands into the midst of a posse just about to pursue some bandits, and is made a deputy sheriff on the spot. He catches up with the bandits, but when they promptly shoot his clothes off he lies in wait behind a bush for the new teacher to pass by. When the pedagogue makes his appearance Bert attacks him and deprives him of his clothes. The children later identify Bert as their new teacher and drag him into the classroom. Written by
