The Paleface is a 1922 American silent comedy Western two-reeler film starring Buster Keaton.

Crooked "oil sharks" led by a man named Hunt have stolen an Indian tribe's lease to their land and given them 24 hours to vacate.

Furious, the Indian chief orders that the first white man who enters their encampment be killed.

Hunt captures the hero, forces him to switch clothes and gets away in disguise.

After being nearly skewered by arrows from his own tribe, Little Chief Paleface finds the deed to the land in a pocket.
