His friend Bunny Huge (both in size and habits) loved the ladies, on the contrary. Bunny makes a bet with Jack that if he comes down to his hotel, "Bunny's Hotel," the girls there will make him fall in twenty-four hours. Jack takes up the bet. The girls all start to vamp him — one dresses as a Chinese w'aiter. the other as an expressman, another as a bellhop, but their efforts are fioiitless when each time he discovers their identity. They try another way. One gets on a runaway horse and he captures the horse. Another gets her foot caught in the railroad track and he saves her. Still another jumps into the lake and is rescued by the dauntless Jack. Finally, they resort to the beach. Dressed in beautiful but scanty costumes, they pose before him, but they fail to interest him. Bunny gets into a fight with Jack. The police come on the scene and chase them. Jack is finally chased by the cops and Bunny — he iumps on a passing truck and thus loses them only to find, at the twenty-fourth hour, that he is surrounded by girls in policemen's uniforms. He is captured in every way and so has to pay Bunny the bet.
