Ford Sterling -- looking unaccountably like Jimmy Cagney -- is fond of boring everyone with his exploits during the Civil War; Fred Mace, on his way to the fishing hole, will hear nothing of it. When it turns out that there is a parade of Civil War veterans, though, Fred is happy to steal Ford's old uniform and medals to wear and impress Alice Davenport with them.

This Keystone from the first year of the firm's operation looks like it was one of their "stolen shot" specialties, with the flashback sequences to the Civil War photographed against an Ince spectacular (like COHEN SAVES THE FLAG) and the parade borrowed from an actual event. This was a common technique for the first couple of years of operation, resulting in some spectacular effects for little money. It's well known that A MUDDY ROMANCE was shot while engineers drained Echo Park Lake and Chaplin's first released movie, KID AUTO RACES AT VENICE used the titular event as a backdrop.
