This sketch entitled “Tenderfoot’s Troubles” was seventeen minutes long on the full stage.
The setting is the Hang Dog Hotel, which sees as its patrons a lot of “cowboys and Indians.” A man named Tenderfoot arrives and is assigned Room 13 and is advised that there is a woman in 14. He returns to the desk to tell the man that the woman is dead. The old joke, “How did you know?” is employed. There is some rope work and sharpshooting throughout. A bad man enters and Tenderfoot accidentally frightens the man into dropping his guns, which leads to his capture.
"Very poor actors; conventional rope work and sharpshooting. A small time act."
