Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Something New is a 1920 film directed by, written by, and co-starring the film-making husband-and-wife team of Nell Shipman and Bert Van Tuyle.Nell Shipman plays a writer very similar to Nell Shipman who goes off to Mexico looking for inspiration. One Sid Bickley, a partner in mining to Nell's late father, manages the Blue Lotus gold mine south of the border. Nell is smitten at first sight with Sid's new partner, Bill Baxter (Van Tuyle), but she goes off with Sid to see the mine.Unfortunately for Nell and Sid, most everybody associated with the Blue Lotus mine has gone off to see the horse races in Tijuana. This is bad, because banditos led by the murderous Agrilla Gorgez swarm down on the mine to steal the gold. It's worse, because once Gorgez sees Nell, he starts getting other ideas.Before she's kidnapped, Nell manages to scrawl out a note to Bill which she sends back tucked into the collar of Bill's dog. Bill gets the note, but since the banditos have stolen all the horses, Bill sets out with the only transportation he has—his trusty Maxwell automobile.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Framing Device: Begins with Nell Shipman out under a tree with her typewriter (because that's where one writes screenplays), stumped for an idea. She sees a horse racing a car and she's inspired. Ends back with the Framing Device as Nell laughs and smiles at the camera.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The last shot of the movie has Nell back in the Framing Device, looking at the camera and laughing.

Bandito: The banditos led by Agrilla Gorgez. They're pretty dangerous.

Cold-Blooded Torture: The banditos are just starting to torture Sid with a red-hot poker when Nell gives up and exits her hiding place.

Foreshadowing: Sid chuckles when he sees Bill's car, saying only a horse can get through the wild country on the way to the Blue Lotus mine. The latter portion of the film has Bill driving his Maxwell all the way to the bandit hideout and back.
