Synopsis
Crooked "oil sharks" led by a man named Hunt have stolen an Indian tribe's lease to their land and given them 24 hours to vacate. Furious, the Indian chief orders that the first white man who enters their encampment be killed. A butterfly collector (Keaton) unwittingly wanders in while chasing a butterfly. They tie him to a stake and collect wood. When he frees himself, the Indian warriors give chase. During the pursuit, he finds some asbestos and fashions himself some fireproof underwear. As a result, when they catch him and try to burn him at the stake, he remains unharmed. Awed by this, the Indians adopt him and give him the title "Little Chief Paleface".Actors

Paraissant sous les barreaux, Buster (alias Frigo pour les copies françaises d'époque) est en fait séparé de sa dulcinée par le portail en fer de sa résidence, symbole du fossé social qui empêche leur union. Elle demande ainsi à son soupirant de réussir d'abord dans les affaires. Après avoir subtilisé un portefeuille fourni, il est la victime d'un escroc opportuniste qui lui vend un stock de meubles sur le trottoir, en fait pour cause de déménagement. Le prenant pour un ouvrier déménageur, la famille l'aide à charger sa charrette. Parti dans les rues de la ville, son attelage se révèle peu fiable et le cheval n'avance pas. Il se retrouve bientôt au beau milieu d'un défilé de policiers. Un terroriste envoie une bombe sur le défilé, mais à côté de Buster, qui en profite alors pour allumer sa cigarette avec la mèche enflammée, puis se débarrasse de la bombe en la jetant sur le côté.

Buster Keaton is walking by and peers through a barred window while captured murderer "Dead Shot Dan" is having his picture taken. Seeing that the photographer is looking away, Dan moves his head to the side and snaps a picture of Buster without anybody noticing. Thus, when Dan escapes, the wanted posters all show Buster with his hands on the bars. Unaware, Buster moves on to a street corner, where he notices a horseshoe, and kicks it aside. The next man who comes along picks it up and throws it for good luck. Within seconds the man finds a wallet filled with money. After scrambling to find the horseshoe, Buster picks it up and throws over his shoulder. It strikes a policeman, who chases Buster, and soon other officers join the chase.

The film is set up as a series of humorous tricks on the audience, with constant doubling, and in which things are rarely what they at first seem to be. It opens with Keaton attending a variety show. In this first sequence, Keaton plays beside him and remarks, "This fellow Keaton seems to be the whole show." This was a gibe at one of Keaton's contemporaries, Thomas Ince, who credited himself generously in his film productions. In interviews with Kevin Brownlow, Keaton claims he gave the director's credit to Cline mainly because he did not want to appear too Ince-like himself: "Having kidded things like that, I hesitated to put my own name on as a director and writer."

Buster plays a down on his luck young man who decides to commit suicide after losing his job and his girl. After several inept attempts to end his life - and bolstered by whiskey disguised as poison - he joins an expedition to capture an armadillo. Buster finds himself becoming more confident through a series of adventures (such as fishing and fox hunting) as the film proceeds. The confidence becomes his undoing as he misses the pool in a dive from a high board and hits the ground on the far side with such force that he disappears into a hole. Some years later, an Asian-garbed Buster climbs out of the hole in the now dry and deserted pool followed by a Chinese wife and two young children.

Malec est un simple employé chez le forgeron du village. Mais c'est à se demander quel métier il exerce vraiment. Est-il forgeron, maréchal ferrant ou bien mécanicien ? Malec est tout simplement présent au bon endroit au bon moment ; même s'il tombe, dans la situation, comme un cheveu sur la soupe. Ces hasards de circonstance provoquent un décalage qui nous renvoie directement au personnage de Charlie Chaplin.

The film opens near the "last stop on the subway", a terminal in Alaska, which appears to be emerging from deep snow in the middle of nowhere. A tough-looking cowboy (Buster Keaton) emerges. He arrives at a small settlement, finding people gambling in a saloon. He tries to rob them by scaring them with the cutout of a poster of a man holding a gun, which he places at the window, as if it is he is an accomplice. He tells the gamblers to raise their hands in the air. Frightened, they hand over their cash, but soon they find out the truth when a drunk man falls over the cutout. Keaton is thrown out through the window.
