His services are requested by the Senor Juan Olivetto. Simon promptly cables an acceptance of the commission, and in the next scene we find him at Olivetto's hacienda in San Paulo Rio, Mexico. His ludicrous adventures embrace flirting with the niece of Senior Juan Olivetto, being chased by her irate fiancé, undergoing the torture of scalping by the Oily Feet Indians (who describe themselves as "Scalp Specialists and Hair Raisers"), being slung on a pole and slowly roasted and basted over a large fire, culminating in his giving a "free pyrotechnic display," in the course of which he entirely exterminates the noxious and cannibalistic Oily Feet. An epilogue shows us Simple Simon and Senora Dolores as man and wife contemplating their very own tribe of "Tenderfeet," which they have themselves raised.
