The Paleface
Kneel! Kneel to Paleface Squaw!

A silent-era slapstick comedy that plays absurdist humor against a backdrop of colonial conflict, with a bumbling protagonist stumbling into danger through innocent mishap.
A butterfly collector unwittingly wanders into an Indian encampment while chasing a butterfly, but the tribe has resolved to kill the first white man who enters their encampment because white oil tycoons are trying to force them from their land.
