Dale and Jim are walking down the street in Tijuana Mexico when Eddie Manning tries various ways of hustling them--offering everything from switchblade knives and other contraband to naughty girlie picture and when he is unable to make a sale, he pulls a gun on the boys, takes them in an alley and takes everything away from them. a rather violent fellow, he determines to do away with them altogether, marches them down to a deserted beach to shoot them, but the boys take a diim view of this fate so they rush him and knock the gun from his hand. The inevitable wrestling match ensues and apparently everyone is far to involved to grab up the gun--at least until the participants energies have been rather fully spent.

We didn't learn until after the picture had been completed that in real life Eddie was a bandit, so perhaps that is why he could play his role with such convincing realism.
