Mounted on a jackass, Tony is complacently jogging along, when the Indians fall upon him. He leaps off and climbs a tall tree, while the redskins build a fire below. The smoke compels Tony to descend, and he is dragged to their camp. The chief's daughter falls in love with Tony. Aided by her, they flee the camp. The pair dash away. Tony clinging to the neck of the horse. They dash into the midst of the cowboys. The cowboys decide to hold the Indian maiden as a hostage until the Indians return the things they have stolen. The Indians come to carry out the arrangements, where Tony is guarding the chief's daughter. Tony has gotten hold of some wine, and he sees that it goes around freely, pretending to imbibe himself of the juice which inebriates. The old chief pleads with Tony to be allowed to see his daughter. Tony grants permission to all the Indians to do likewise. The moment they have all entered where the Indian girl is held the doors are barred hard and fast. That is how Tony became a hero. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
