Featured review
A slapstick western
A tribe of Red Indians are cheated out of their land by unscrupulous white oil speculators. Their chief makes a vow that the next white man they see shall be scalped. In walks a blissfully unaware butterfly collector played by Buster Keaton.
This comic western is full of elaborate chase sequences and funny moments where Keaton tries to outwit the Indians. There are several scenes where he shows his gift for physical comedy and some like the bridge scene where he undertakes some of his customary dangerous stunt work. The film is notable too for its sympathetic portrayal of the Indians. They are clearly shown to be the innocent victims of corrupt white men. This was fairly unusual in a film so old.
