The Frenzy of Firewater (1912)
Kate tells her sweetheart, Dan, that she will not see him until he overcomes his taste for drink and the young man, feeling that the world is against him, casts his lot with Wheeler, a liquor trader. Wheeler shows Dan the manner in which he mixes alcohol, tobacco and water and disposes of the compound to the Indians. The two traders meet a party of Indians, to whom they deliver a supply of the deadly fire-water and secure blankets and skins in return. Crazed by the liquor the Indians raid Kate's cabin, killing her father and leading her away captive. When Dan and Wheeler reach the dismantled cabin, the young man realizes the havoc which his thoughtlessness has caused. He denounces Wheeler and succeeds in rescuing Kate from the Indians, only to be pursued by the whole tribe. The fleeing couple meet a large party of soldiers, who make a barricade of the prairie schooners and a terrific battle soon rages. The Indians are finally put to flight and Kate becomes convinced of Dan's reformation.
