An Indian's Honor
Directed by Jack ConwayOn the Fourth of July, Black Pete drinks too much and the cowboys, trying to rouse him from his lethargy, tie a bunch of firecrackers to his coat tails and set them off. He starts shooting up the place and rushes out of the saloon, where he sees Tall Pine, a handsome young Indian. He tries to make him dance, but Tall Pine is not so inclined and a struggle takes place, in which the Indian kills Black Pete. The sheriff is notified and he informs the colonel at a neighboring fort. With a company of soldiers the sheriff and the colonel ride to the Indian village and demand Tall Pine. Finally Tall Pine, in order to carry out some Indian customs, promises to come to the settlement at dawn. The sheriff is rather skeptical, but the colonel manifests a great amount of faith in Tall Pine. The next morning while Tall Pine is on a high cliff bidding goodbye to earth he notices far below him, Cyril, the colonel's son, who has disobeyed his father's commands and left camp to hunt, being pursued by a couple of bears. With peril to his own life, Tall Pine rescues the boy and carries him unconscious to the fort, where the sheriff is awaiting him, and on account of the lateness of day, thinks that Tall Pine has broken his promise and escaped. All are surprised to see Tall Pine bringing in the boy, and at the suggestion of the sheriff and the pleading of the boy, Tall Pine is allowed to go free.
