No assistants mean no performance and consequently no money. The professor and his manager start in search for new ones. They enter the telegraph office where Andy is employed and decide Andy would make a good subject. After satisfactory terms have been made, both with Andy and his employer, Andy consents to take the job. At the hall, during a matinee performance, Andy is hypnotized and told he is "Sitting Bull," the Indian chief. Andy immediately follows in the footsteps of that noted warrior and starts to massacre the pale faces. All would have gone well, had not a Children's Society agent interfered and arrested Mysterio, which left Andy free to wreck vengeance upon the unsuspecting public, which he does, first by a fight to the death with a cigar store Indian, which he mistakes for the foe of another nation. He next discovers four girls coasting down a hill on a sleigh and kidnaps them for squaws, making them do all the work as squaws should be made to do, build snow houses, carry wood, supply provisions, etc., also do a war dance for the entertainment of their Lord and Master, Big Chief Andy. The neighbors crowd around but dare not interfere. Finally his chum, Lanky, takes his courage in both hands and enters. Andy pounces upon him, tomahawk in hand, but recognizes his old friend and they agree to smoke the pipe of peace. Not liking the taste of the pipe, Andy swaps one of his squaws with Lanky for a cigarette. In the meantime Mysterio learns of Andy's plight and comes to the rescue, but after Andy's mother gets there he decides to be "Sitting Bull" no longer, as he is obliged to eat his meals from the mantel.
