From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paleface is a Buster Keaton two-reeler comedy film made in 1922
A butterfly collector unwittingly wanders into an Indian encampment while chasing a butterfly. But this 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. The Indian warriors give chase to Keaton, who ingeniously escapes their efforts to kill him. As a result, Keaton eventually becomes accepted by the tribe and given the title, "Little Chief Paleface". He subsequently leads the tribe's effort to stop the oil tycoons from displacing them from their land.
