A Movie Hero (1920)

A picture is being run in the town picture house in which Jimmy plays the new sheriff and Lynn the man who runs the town. Both the ex-sheriff and Jimmy vie with each other for the hand of Lynn's daughter. Lynn's wayward son, Hans, steals his father's money and divides it with the ex-sheriff, who in the meantime has been trying to win the girl. When she refuses him he takes her by force and ties her to his cabin. Jimmy not only discovers who the thieves are but in a spectacular chase overcomes the ex-sheriff and his gang and rescues the girl, and they live happily ever afterwards. When it is all over the picture show is disclosed again with Jimmy making a speech and applauding himself, telling the audience to judge for itself how clever he is.
