Ham Among the Redskins (1915)

Because they accidentally save Mary from the Indians, Ham and Bud decide to become Indian fighters. To gain experience, the two plan to practice upon a small Indian as a starter. Finding an eight-year-old redskin, they both attack him and almost succeed in licking the lad. Ham and Bud decide that strategy is the thing to use in fighting Indians. Bud thereupon arms himself with a horn, while Ham takes a war club. Bud is to attract the Indians by blowing the horn. When the redskins appear, Ham is to finish them with his club. But Bud falls asleep. Ham bumps into an Indian; he howls for Bud to blow his horn. Bud finally awakens and obeys. Upon hearing the horn, the redskin leaves off attacking Ham and turns toward the direction of the sound. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ham telescopes him with the club. Satisfied with the scheme, the two change implements. This time Ham takes the horn. An Indian attacks Bud and the latter begs Ham to blow. Ham, however, feels tired and doesn't obey until the Indian is about to kill Bud. Blowing the horn, he distracts the redskin's attention whereupon Bud uses his club. Ham disguises as an Indian and plans to kill all the red men by himself. Bud is stricken by the same idea. Later, the two meet. Each mistakes the other for an Indian. Nor do they discover their error until Ham has hit Bud a terrific blow over the head, and Bud has shot Ham with his bow and arrow.
