- Murphy meets his friend, the midget, and gets the worse of the encounter. Words lead to blows and although Murphy is temporarily successful the midget finally tears him limb from limb and strews the floor with his remains.
- This is a clever comedy production in several scenes. In the opening scene the hired man is complaining to Farmer Jones that the woodpile is being depleted by thieves. Farmer Jones decides to adopt drastic measures and loads one of the sticks with dynamite. In the next scene a colored deacon, one of the shining lights in the African Church, is seen making away with the wood. The next scene shows the home of the deacon, where he is taking his comfort at the kitchen fire, while his wife is busy with the washing. The loaded stick is, of course, put into the fire, and there is a terrific explosion and the building is ruined. Farmer Jones and his man appear at the critical moment and the colored thieves are given a punishment they will not soon forget.
- The opening shows a colored nursemaid in the park with baby carriage, and seated on a bench receives the attention of several smart colored men who admire her greatly and endeavor to make her acquaintance. But the dusky belle is coy and declines to make the acquaintance of any of them, until one more fortunate than the rest is invited to a seat on the bench with her, and a most pronounced flirtation takes place between the lady and her beau. The course of true love seems to run smoothly, and we are next introduced to the lady's home, where the young man is paying a visit and is introduced by the girl to her, father and mother, typical old darkies of before the war time, and several funny scenes follow in which the kid hint her plays a prominent part. The coon favors his girl with many presents and lavishes attentions upon her, although it cannot he said that the courtship proceeds altogether without incident. A rival appears on the scene, razors are drawn and finally a duel is arranged, at which both suitors, accompanied by their seconds, appear on the field of honor and exchange shots at thirty paces; one of the combatants is carried off the field, while our original hero remains the master of the situation, and the girl, arriving at the moment, is so pleased with his valor that arrangements for the wedding are made at once. The happy climax is reached at last and the marriage ceremony makes the two coons one and ends the "wooing" in a wedding. Next is seen the home of the young couple, but quite a change has taken place. No longer does the colored gallant overwhelm his lady with presents and similar attentions. Put the familiar sign of "Washing Done Here" is apparent, and while the woman toils at the wash tub the married coon smokes, drinks and enjoys himself at his leisure until he decides to go out and enjoy the sights and pleasures of the town. In turn he visits a trap game and several other gambling scenes, not forgetting various saloons, at which he accumulates a very perceptible package. His gambling experience has been unsuccessful and he loses not only his money but his clothes as well, and finally is compelled to rob a scarecrow in order to get clothes enough to get home again at all, which he finally gains in a very disheveled and ragged condition. The unfortunate coon has not been home long before he is attacked by imaginary foes as the result of his drinking bout; seizing a broom he gives battle wildly but is surprised by his wife, who, disgusted with the condition in which her husband has returned, attacks him viciously and gives him the beating he so richly deserves and ends by throwing a tub of suds and dirty water all over him.

- The hero of this story is a little boy who has no legs, shuffling painfully along on a pair of crutches. His friend is a little fellow whose mother keeps the village tavern, and the opening scene finds the boys playing in front of the house, when a drunken man goes staggering into the inn. He orders several drinks and then falls asleep with his head on the table. Now the lads, apparently tired of playing, part, and the tavern woman's son enters his home. Wishing to close the inn, the mother tries to arouse the sleeper, but finally decides to allow him to spend the night by the table; the boy turns his attention to his school lessons, and after his mother goes to bed all is quiet. Now, outside of the boarded entrance to the tavern, two desperadoes appear, and they soon succeed in jimmying their way in. Entering the barroom, they see the boy, but manage to tiptoe by him unobserved to the chamber above. Here they attack the woman before she can spread the alarm, and ransacking the room, go again to the barroom; sneaking up behind the occupied little fellow they suddenly throw a sheet about him and carry him off. But as they go from the tavern they are seen by the legless friend of their captive, and he follows them, for he has divined the situation. As soon as they reach some passerby he passes, the alarm and some people go for aid. Meanwhile the murder of the woman has been discovered, and the suspect is the innocent drunkard who had fallen asleep at the table; the corpse is taken in custody, and the protesting man is taken to the police station, accused. But the little cripple during this time has been following his men, and they lead him to the water side, where they take the unconscious form of the boy into a boat and pull out from the shore. Waiting only to throw off the wooden stumps which serve him as limbs, the little fellow dives into the water and is soon swimming desperately after the boat, unobserved. When in midstream the robbers drop the boy over into the water, and turn back to shore. Of course, the legless swimmer rescues his friend, but when the men reach the shore the police are waiting and after a fierce fight they are captured. The next scene shows the accusation of the men, but they deny their guilt, insisting that the drunkard is the criminal. At once the door opens and the crippled hero enters, and straightway tells his story, after which the suspect is set free and the others incarcerated. The last picture shows the tavern boy thanking his rescuer.
- DirectorD.W. GriffithStarsAnthony O'SullivanGertrude RobinsonCharles WestCharlie Lee, the poor chink, is the hero of this Biograph story. Having located at Golden Gulch as a laundryman, his old father is about to take his leave for his home in the Flowery Kingdom. Before going the old man warns his son to cherish his sacred queue, for should he lose that he would be an outcast and disbarred from returning to his country, which every Chinaman who leaves, looks forward to doing. His father gone, the chink feels very much alone and low spirited, for though a saffron-skinned Pagan, his soul is white and real red blood pulsates his heart. He takes up a basket of laundry work to deliver and on the road is made to feel the result of two thousand years of civilization, for while passing a gang of cowboys, they pull his pigtail, threaten to cut it off, and roughly handle him until rescued by Bud Miller and his sweetheart, Miss Dean. For this intervention the chink is deeply grateful, and when Gentleman Jack, the dandy, tries to cut Bud Miller out in Miss Mean's affection, Charlie, the chink, keeps his eyes open. Through this the Dandy and Bud come to blows, but are separated by the boys. However, the chink hears the dandy threaten to do Bud at first meeting. The chink resolves to save his friend at any cost. The excitement at the Gulch is the repeated hold-ups of the registered mail carrier, and the effectual evasion of capture of the robber. A reward of $5,000 for his capture is posted, and the attitude of the dandy towards the notice arouses the chink's suspicion, hence he follows him like a shadow. His efforts prove fruitful, for he is a witness to the dandy's operations, who, disguising himself, makes his way to a lonely spot in the road and holds up the mail carrier. At a distance he views the dandy change his disguise and lay out on the ground to rest and gloat over his success. Here stands the poor chink apparently helpless. He is unarmed and with nothing with which to secure his captive. There, lays the dandy with his hands clasped above his head. All that is needed is a hit of rope. A thought strikes the chink, but what a sacrifice it means. A sacrifice which will make him forever an outcast. There is no other way, so whipping out a knife, he with one slash cuts off the sacred queue and binds the dandy's hands so quickly that he is taken into the camp before he knows what has occurred. After the excitement of his deed is over, the poor Chinaman then realizes what his condition really is. The reward he receives is made use of in an unlooked-for way. When the sweethearts go to his shack they find a note which reads: "Missie Dean alsame Bud Miller too. Charlie Lee wishee much glad you two when alsame one. Hope take money for blidel plesent. Goodby. Charlie Lee went away." With the note is the bag containing the $5,000, but the chink could not be found."C---k" is an offensive term for a Chinese person
- This is Indian, but a comedy! A little surprise, yet it's so, first Indian comedy ever made. It introduces the youth that has the spirit of the plains in his Eastern blood, and we show him whetting his ferocious appetite for redmen's blood. He's going out West, you must know, and he's practicing the plunge of the Bowie, for he anticipates many a savage hand-to-hand encounter. His subject is the nearest to the real article that a tenderfoot can get, namely a cigar store Indian. But the Indian is not the kind you expect him to be, so he resents it in such fashion that the erstwhile despoiler of the copperman's domain changes his mind about that triumphant tour of the woolly West.
- This is a pictorial dramatization of the well-known nursery rhyme, "Ten Little Niggers," which is faithfully followed. The adventures of the ten little darkies are depleted in a most laughable manner, making a unique and entertaining subject.
- DirectorArthur Melbourne CooperNursery rhyme enacted by toys.

- StarsHarold M. ShawEdith HaldemanLaura LymanLuigi is employed by Cramp, the millionaire contractor. He is a widower and lives alone with his daughter, Rosie. There is a strike and Luigi tries to return to work, but is hustled away by the labor pickets. The strike continues, and Luigi is reduced to abject poverty. Cramp is arrested for stealing a large sum of money, but is treated as a gentleman. Grace, the daughter of the judge, devotes her time to charity in the poor quarters. Luigi and Rosie are freezing and Luigi goes to the railroad yards to pick coal. He is arrested and dragged to jail, leaving Rosie at home waiting for his return, suffering from the cold. He tries to expostulate with the officer but to no avail. Cramp is released on an alibi, while Luigi is sentenced to two years at hard labor. He breaks down, and, wild with rage, he curses the judge and threatens to get even. His sentence is served; he hastens to his late home in search of Rosie, of whom he has heard nothing. He finds the house he lived in occupied by strangers who can tell him nothing of his daughter. He wanders forth on the street asking everyone he meets to tell him of Rosie. He passes the house of the judge and sees the man who sentenced him come out with his daughter. Luigi is possessed of but one idea, to kill the child of the man. That night he gains access to the house. In the bed is the form of a girl. Luigi approaches the bed with drawn knife, stoops over and is about to plunge the knife into the bosom of the sleeper when she awakes, rises and looks at him. It is his daughter, Rosie, who has been cared for by Grace. Luigi drops the knife and takes his beloved Rosie in his arms.Many people don't know that "Wop" is an acronym that originated from Italians coming to America 'without papers'.
- StarsNolan GaneLydia MeadArthur BauerWill Jameson has been crippled from boyhood. He bears his affliction bravely until he falls in love with Ruth Stevens. He is often a guest at Judge Stevens' home, and one evening, feeling that he can no longer endure the merriment among the other young folks in which he can take no active part, he goes to find the Judge and excuses himself on the pretext that he has promised to be home early. Meanwhile, an ex-convict whom the Judge formerly sentenced has entered the house meaning to avenge himself. Will reaches the library barely in time to save the Judge's life. In his struggle with the convict, however, his leg is broken. An eminent surgeon discovers that the operation which must be performed will cure Will of the old trouble. The young man induces him to keep this secret from the Stevens family. Later, Will returns and proposes to Ruth, who realizes that she loves him.

- DirectorCharles RansomStarsWilliam WadsworthArthur HousmanJessie StevensIt is about midnight. A gathering of sports is watching a cock fight. After two "rounds" the small game cock whips the big "rooster" and the party breaks up. Waddy and Arty, farmhands, are in the neighborhood of the chicken house early the next morning when Nora calls them to mail a letter. In the meantime, Mr. Rogers, owner of the place, observes the many chinks in the chicken house and leaves a notice for the men, which he tacks up on the house. It reads: "Close up all the chinks in the chicken coop." After delving into various lexicons and soliciting opinions from the authorities on the place, Waddy and Arty decide that "close up" means to "shut up" and "chinks" means "Chinamen." Accordingly, they corral a Celestial and lock him up in the chicken house. The unfortunate Chinaman has a battle with the big rooster with the honors about even. Then the farmhands go in search of another chink. They find him and after a chase succeed in shutting him into the chicken house. As they push him in, however, Chinaman No. 1 slips out and there is another chase. The native of the Orient proves to be quite an acrobat, and even a tight wire walker. He is captured in front of the house he has entered by way of an upper window, after walking along a telegraph wire at a dizzy height. After knocking him unconscious in a very indifferent manner, the farmhands carry him back to the chicken coop. While they are busy making the last catch, Nora has hied herself to the henhouse for eggs. The entrapped Chinaman uses her for a target when she opens the door and "spills" a few eggs all over her, Mr. Rogers appears on the scene as the farmhands reappear with the unfortunate Chinaman. Explanations are in order, and when the farmhands learn their stupidity, there is a very ludicrous scene. The Chinamen, having found money dropped by Mr. Rogers, are rewarded by him as the farmhands gaze with open mouths.

McGowanStarsJoe CobbJackie CondonMickey DanielsMany of the "Our Gang" kids are in their secret clubhouse - so secret that some wannabe members have troubles trying to find the tunnel entrance - planning their next game, which will be a Wild West shootout. They, as historical figures such as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, figuratively plan go to Arizona clandestinely through China and Japan, as Arizona is where they know most Indians to be, Indians who they plan to shoot. They run into some obstacles in playing the game, including objections from parents, and as such they decide to postpone it until the wee hours of the next morning and play it in the streets of the neighborhood. As it begins to rain during the middle of their shootout that morning, they decide to take refuge in a neighborhood house. What they are unaware of is that the house belongs to inventor W.R. Jones, who rigged it to be a "magnetic house", a demonstration for a possible amusement park attraction. Not knowing about the house's rigged contraptions leads to a lot of misadventures for the gang not related to shooting Indians as they try to figure out what's happening around them.

While I am anti-political correctness, I still believe in this modern era we don't need to refer to anyone by their skin color. The American Indians are the last to suffer this humiliation.
If I were to rename the team, I would choose "Washington Tomahawks".
