While courting the maid, he teaches her father how to smoke cigars. Reggie wins Annie by purchasing her from her father for fifty boxes of perfectos. Reggie electrifies his parents by bringing his bride home. The day after their arrival. Annie spies Mrs. Moneybags' poodle. Yearning for some reservation dog-stew, she seizes the animal and orders the chef to prepare it for her meal. When the cook protests, Annie picks up a table knife and attempts to butcher the dog. Mrs. Moneybags is summoned and saves her pet in the nick of time. Reggie finally succeeds in quelling the riot which follows. When dinner is announced, Annie makes a grand rush for the dining-room. Climbing on the table, she contentedly grabs all the food in sight. The family leave the room to talk the matter over. When they return, the girl is inhaling deeply of a long Indian pipe. They seize Annie and carry her to the bathroom, where they attempt to give her a washing. Highly indignant at so unnecessary a procedure, Annie escapes and hides in her mother-in-law's boudoir. Two plumes in Mrs. Moneybags' best hat attract her attention. Plucking them out, the girl sticks them in her hair. When the family finally come upon her, they find she has started a fire in the middle of the floor and is contentedly toasting her hands. Having reached the limit of endurance, they order Reggie to return to the reservation with his bride. Poor Reggie obeys. We finally see him sitting before a tepee, wearing a monocle, a huge war bonnet, and a blanket, and smoking cigarettes. As for Annie Wagontongue, happy and contented, she prepares the evening meal over the camp fire for her lord and master. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
