Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Down on their uppers again, they can’t even get a drink, but they do, and more. Skelley at the shooting gallery shows some fancy shots with the help of the unseen Gilly. While the shots don’t get the turkey, their efforts combined get it just the same.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 7 March 1914, page ?] This contains some hilarious moments. Skelley and his partner have a lot of fun in the shooting gallery and furnish some good amusement for the audience. A pleasing comedy reel.
