Alfalfa volunteers to be hypnotized by a sidewalk hypnotist. He's made to believe he's D'Artagnan, and challenges Butch to a duel in order to keep Darla as his own. When Darla realizes that somebody might get hurt, she runs to the clubhouse to put a stop to it. She overhears Butch talking to Alfalfa inside while the two are agreeing that girls aren't worth fighting over. They plan to duel with guns instead and pretend to both get shot. The boy that Darla rushes to will get to keep her.
