A Desert Hero is a 1919 American short comedy film directed by and starring Fatty Arbuckle.[1] The film is considered to be lost.[2]

Plot

Arbuckle plays a miner who has struck gold. He comes into a frontier town called Carbolic Camp looking for a good time. The town is wild and woolly; anybody who takes the job of sheriff is killed within minutes. Looking to change his gold into cash, Arbuckle enters Hyena Hall, a dancehall run by an enormous bully named Bullneck Bradley. The locals scheme to steal his gold. The star dancing girl refuses to be part of the scheme and is thrown out into the street.

Arbuckle gets into a fight with the town bully; when he wins, he is elected sheriff. He falls in love with the dancing girl, who reforms and joins the Salvation Army. While the Salvation Army is holding a meeting in front of the dancehall, Arbuckle overhears the dancehall owner making disparaging remarks. They fight; Arbuckle wins and makes everyone present join the Salvation Army.[3][4]
