The Boy from the Gilded East (1916)
Following the old advice, "Go West, young man," the boy who was formerly a soda dispenser goes West to seek a gold mine. In the town of Red Dog lives Betty. She owns and runs the Long Horn Saloon, and her chief admirer is Dick Dare, the gambling sheriff. About this time Two Gun Harry has escaped jail and is holding up stagecoaches all over the county. When the boy first enters the saloon with two big guns protruding from his pocket, the cowboys think he is dangerous. He leaves the saloon after his lemonade and strolls down the road. He rolls a cigarette, and while searching for a match, the stagecoach drives up. The boy says "Stop" as he intends to get a match. The passengers, thinking the boy is Two Gun Harry, shell out, and the stage dashes into the town to report. The Sheriff and posse start out for the bandit. The boy, meanwhile, takes a short cut, and coming back to the saloon, he tells the girl of the strange people who gave him all these things. She hides him in her cabin and when the Sheriff and posse trail him there, she conceals the boy in the loft. All would have been well, but the nervous boy tips over a jug of vinegar. The Sheriff, frightened of the record of Two Gun Harry, calls his posse and they are about to deal out justice to the boy when a messenger comes in with the news that Two Gun Harry was captured in another town. All inquire who he is, and he proudly tells them he is the best soda clerk west of Chicago. The girl engages him for a bartender and all ends well.
