Some Medicine Man (1916)
Pat and Grouch arrive on the stage at Medicine Sap, a frontier town. He unfolds an invalid chair to the astonishment of the natives. When the Indian princess passes with her father Pat asks the clerk who she is. The clerk tells him it is Chief "Rain-in-the-Face" and his daughter. Pat is lost in admiration, but has to wheel Grouch to the hotel barroom. In the room Pat thinks of the princess. In the camp the princess thinks of Pat. In the meantime the Grouch is going crazy. Pat comes in and gives him some medicine, but it only gets Grouch on edge. He is sure he is going to die and sends Pat out to get a doctor. The clerk tells Pat that the only doctor in the country is "Heap Much Dope," the Indian medicine man. Pet beats it to the Indian camp, gets the medicine man, sends him to the hotel and remains to flirt with the princess. In the meantime the medicine man calls on the Grouch, and the latter promptly kicks him out of the room. So the medicine man and the chief declare war. The town people learn that the Indians are coming and wonder what to do. Princess promises to save them and she and Pat set out. Pat gets frightened when he sees the Indians and climbs a telegraph pole. The Indians try to smoke him off, but Pat throws down high tension wire and puts the Indians out of commission. He returns to town with trophies and is showered with praise and presents by the people.
