Greed for Gold (1913)

Greed for gold, this is what has dragged many a man downward. Skinflint, a miser, not satisfied with the gold he boards, tries to make a practice of selling whiskey to the Indians, taking from them practically all the gold they possess for just a few glasses of the fire water. Skinflint might have succeeded had it not been for Bill Riley, a prospector, who quickly takes the bottle of intoxicating liquor from the Indian and smashes it on a nearby rock. Skinflint becomes enraged and determines to get even. That afternoon the Indian becomes intoxicated from the whiskey he finally purchased from the miser. Many tangled situations are straightened out that develop from the miser selling the Indian the fire water.
