He Gave Him a Million (1915)
Benjamin Batty is perfectly sane except that he thinks that the world owes him a million dollars. Just for that they keep him in the asylum because his collection methods are apt to be a trifle violent. But Batty gets out and starts after the money. He holds up a gunsmith's shop and gets a few guns to help his arguments with. The chief of police is warned of his escape and starts after him with the pride of the force. Batty meets several people but it is not until he encounters Jake Piffin, the village dunce, that he meets any encouragement. Jake takes him to the stage door of the opera house, buys a dollar's worth of stage money, and leads Batty back to the asylum, pretending that it is a bank, winning the hundred dollars reward.
