Buster Keaton plays a young man who decides to commit suicide after he loses his job and his dignity. He attempts suicide in a variety of ways, including laying on a train track and hanging himself from a tree, but none of his attempts are successful. Buster stumbles into a meeting of older men who are all setting off to hunt armadillos, so he volunteers to join the hunt. On this humorous expedition, he tries fishing and horseback riding and is ultimately unsuccessful at both.
Lizard Lip Luke, a bandit, is also on the hunt. He and his goons shoot up a saloon of some kind and Luke tries to assault a woman inside. Buster saves her from the shootout and the assault and promptly proposes, to which the woman points to her husband, who is sitting two feet away. Buster attempts the high dive but misses the pool completely, resulting in a giant, deep hole in the ground. Years later, Keaton reemerges from the giant hole dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, accompanied by a wife and two children.
