Little Injin (1911)

On a visit to the country, Raleigh makes the acquaintance of a young Indian boy and convinces the Indian family to let him take the boy back with him to the city for a visit. Raleigh's wife and family are so pleased with "Loe" that they send a basket of clothes to Loe's family. The family mourn the absence of their papoose, and decide to go to the city after him. Dressing in the clothing as best they can, they start for Raleigh's. Needless to say, consternation and embarrassment reigned supreme in the Raleigh household upon the arrival of the comically dressed Indians. Making the best of it, however, the Raleighs received them, and bade them make themselves at home. Loe's father needed no second invitation, and finding a bottle of "Devil water," he proceeded to get beautifully intoxicated. In the meantime the rest of Loe's family were doing their best to enjoy themselves, at the expense of the Raleighs. A night of riot followed, enjoyment for the Indians and utter misery for the Raleighs. In the morning the "Little Injin" and his socially ambitious family were sent back to their desert home by the sadder but wiser Raleighs.
