Some Duel (1916)

Grace, daughter of Jim Jordan, a ranch owner, has just returned from school, and Tom, leader of the Lazy S cowboy outfit, and Centiped Pete, leader of a rival cowboy outfit, fall in love with the girl. They both attire themselves in their best bib and tucker, and head for Grace's home. En route, they stop to settle a strenuous argument, and before the argument is ended, the cowboys of the rival ranches become involved in a free-for-all. Centiped Pete, subdued by Tom, challenges him to fight a duel. Before the duel, the rivals practice plain and fancy shooting. Grace plots with Tom to fool and frighten Pete, which they do by trick marksmanship. On the day of the duel blank cartridges are placed in the guns unknown to the principals. When the undertaker arrives, it is too much for Pete, who takes to his heels. Grace then tells Tom how brave he was to stick to his ground, and he appreciates that he has won her love.
