在这部The General短片/喜剧片中,
John's eye lights on a pretty girl in the park, but as he approaches her, her suitor comes up, a burly fellow. John and he fight, and John succeeds in introducing himself to the girl. For a card he uses a torn-off piece of envelope on which was printed "General Delivery." The girl is enthusiastic upon meeting a real general, so John rushes away to get a uniform. In the meantime the girl's suitor seeks revenge. He takes a snap shot of John on the sly and pastes it on a placard stating that the criminal pictured thereon has escaped. He shows it to a policeman and takes him to the girl's house where John is drinking punch by the wholesale. John draws his sword as the policeman runs up, and throws it at the jealous suitor. It strikes just over his head in the wood. The policeman catches John and takes him to the patrol box. But John slips out of his coat and runs away.
