White Man's Firewater (1913)
Dick prefers hunting to helping around the ranch as his father wishes. His chum, Tom, calls upon Dick's sister, Amy, and Dick, who has been drinking rather freely, takes his chum hunting with him. Dick sees a party of Indians drinking, and in spite of all that his friend could say, Dick insisted upon trying to shoot the bottle from one of the Indians. Instead he killed Big Bear, and his son, Black Eagle, started out for revenge. Dick, sobered at what he saw he had done, threw down his rifle and ran, while Tom picked it up and hastened to the ranch to warn the ranchmen of what Dick had done. Black Eagle followed Tom, and fired at him just in time to hit the ranchman, who promptly accused Tom of shooting, not seeing the Indians and having quarreled with his son's chum regarding Amy. Tom, unable to prove an alibi, held the man, who had run to the wounded man's aid, at bay until he could find Dick. Amy had in the meanwhile gone for the doctor and had been taken captive by two of Black Eagle's followers. After a daring fight, Tom succeeded in rescuing her, but Black Eagle had in the meanwhile gone back to the ranch and set fire to the house. The wounded ranchman and his wife were alone in the place and Tom, Dick and the men after them, barely returned in time to rescue the couple and the house collapsed. Black Eagle had in the meanwhile been captured and at last confessed to the shooting of the ranchman to avenge the death of his father, whose unfortunate fate was a means of mending Dick's ways and showing the ranchman that Tom was a desirable son-in-law after all.
