My Friend, the Indian (1909)

An Indian coming into town asks for a drink. A hobo seeing a chance for fun, sells the Indian to a cigar man as a cigar sign. The trouble soon begins. The Indian runs away and a chase follows as novel as it is funny. At last the Indian is caught. He jumps through a chimney into a bedroom and conceals himself in a folding bed. Six policemen who are chasing him close up the folding bed and carry the prisoner away. On the street the bed breaks through, the Indian escapes, while the policemen carry the empty bed in triumph to the station.
