Unusual for a Keaton film to have no love interest, but in this one it is love of justice that is the motivating factor. Keaton is a butterfly hunter who must prevent being burned at the stake by a tribe of hostile native Americans in the first half. In the second he helps them retrieve their land, stolen by evil land barons. The second half is not of much interest. The first however has back to back hilarity in the scenes where Buster joins the tribal dance, outwits the brave trying to stack burning wood around the pole he is tied to and then in the ensuing chase with some awesome acrobatics that have to be seen to be believed.
Except for these two sequences it falls rather flat - in my estimation - despite the clever double horse joke used again here in a different way than in THE SCARECROW.
KINO's release is made up of two prints - about 90% of a crisp, clear and bright print is used and its missing scenes are filled in by using segments from a somewhat blurry, second or third generation copy. There is a full orchestral score with sound effects.
