Pulque Pete and the Opera Troupe (1912)
When a musical comedy company visits the little western town, Pulque Pete, a cowboy, is captivated by one of the chorus girls, whom he follows to the station. He endeavors to make her acquaintance and she asks if he has any money. When Pete produces a huge roll it meets the sight of the manager, who encourages Pete to join the company, seeing in him a possible "angel." Pete becomes high-handed and insists that his girl play the star part. The manager sees that he must dispense with the "angel" and awaits his opportunity. The company plays a return date in Pete's home town and the manager has an inspiration. He informs all of Pete's friends that the cowboy will appear in the role of "The King" that night. The rough westerners visit the opera house in a body and when Pete appears in his kingly attire he is made a target for the distribution of ancient eggs and vegetables. Pete beats a hasty retreat and finally escapes from his pursuers, only to find that he is in the midst of a band of Indians on the warpath. When the savages see this strange creature with his crown and ermine (?) robes, they regard him as one of the Gods, and Pete is obliged to resort to strategy in order to return to civilization.
