At last in safety he sits down for a rest. Two Indians approach and make him captive. He is brought before Chief Pain-in-the-Face who decrees that he shall die. The Chief's daughter, Moonlight Princess, falls in love with Jerry at first sight and successfully pleads with her father for his life. She is told to have him painted and dressed like an Indian and she may marry him. Thus arrayed and bound Jerry is about to give up all hope when a professor of natural history, endeavoring to buy an Indian to accompany him on a lecture tour, arrives and negotiates the purchase of Jerry. The prisoner is overjoyed at the prospect of release, but not so with the Princess, who is taken struggling and protesting to her tent. Jerry is taken to the professor's home that night and left alone in the library while the professor goes on an errand. The other occupants of the house, the professor's son, his daughters and his housekeeper, are asleep. Jerry makes himself thoroughly at home and is enjoying himself immensely when the Princess, who has followed, bursts in upon him. A racket follows, the household is awakened, and there is an exodus from the rooms of the members of the family. The Princess chases Jerry from room to room, startling the professor's bewildered daughters and housekeeper into hysterics. The son, however, more collected, calls for the police, who arrive at the same time as the professor. Jerry is immediately recognized by the officers, exposed as an impostor, and again taken into custody, much to his delight after his experience with the Princess.
