Wild and Woolly (1917)

Artcraft Pictures
Directed by John Emerson
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Flicker Alley)

Fairbanks is the son of a wealthy railroad owner in New York. He spends his time romanticizing the wild west. He jumps on an opportunity to go to Arizona, but the residents there learn about his western "hobby" and fabricate an old western town to win his favor. The heart of their plan is to fake a train robbery. However, a real outlaw finds out and, with the help of some drunk Indians, tries to steal the town blind. It's up to easterner Fairbanks to save the day. A fake ending worked on me!
