Weary Starts Things in Pumpkinville (1912)
"Come out from underneath that wagon, you bum." Weary Willie does so just in time to receive a good, swift kick from the toe of the circus attendant's boot. Reaching the elephant's enclosure, he gives the butt of a cigar to one of them. The enraged beast chases him and soon the whole town is aroused and joins in the pursuit. The local fire department gets busy and tries to capture the escaping animal. Suddenly he turns on his followers and they beat it in the opposite direction. The Sheriff, Weary and a coon climb a tree to get out of his way. The elephant stops to scratch his back against the trunk of the tree and the three men jump on his back. He trots off with them and when he is tired of his burden, he does some lively bucking and throws the three men in three different directions. Finally, the town Sheriff approached the elephant and, finding that he is perfectly harmless, leads him back to the circus. Weary goes with him, hoping to come in for some of the glory. When the town's inhabitants see the elephant walking docilely with the Sheriff and Weary, they are paralyzed with astonishment. The captors take the elephant back to the circus where the Sheriff receives a reward. Weary asks for his and gets it from the elephant, who douses him in a tub of water.
