Blackbird breaks Alice's doll and both little hearts are filled with sorrow. Blackbird, seeking to make a new doll for Alice, uproots a section of a cornfield, brings the corn to Alice and together they manufacture a doll. A quarrel over the doll ensues, and to patch it up, Blackbird makes a pipe of peace out of an ear of corn. They both smoke the corn husk and become sick. The damage to the cornfield is discovered by Alice's father and his cowboys. Getting their guns, they prepare to wreak vengeance upon the Indians, presuming that they are guilty. As the cowboys and Indians are about to fire upon each other, Alice, with her corn doll, and Blackbird, with his headache, toddle in between the warring factions. The cause of the damaged cornfield is explained and instead of a battle, there is held a peace council. Written by
