Kernel Nutt and Prince Tango (1916)

Kernel Nutt, a seafaring man, has the misfortune to possess a wife who believes in the uplifting of humanity. When the uplift society, of which she is a member, decides on Prince Tango, son of a Zulu chief as their protégé, and plan to hold a reception in his honor in the Nutt home, Kernel Nutt sees that something will have to be done. He has the Zulu kidnapped and, dressed as a man eating cannibal himself, he enters the room where the uplifters are anxiously awaiting Prince Tango. Nutt gives them a wonderful exhibition of cannibalistic tendencies and convinces the society that they better abandon their uplifting. Meanwhile, Tango has managed to break away from his kidnappers and rushes into the room which he just left in proxy. He clears the matter up and when a bit of burnt cork is found on Nutt the fireworks start in earnest.
