A Militant School Ma'am (1915)

Jerald Bruce, a motion picture actor, has a dispute with his director, and as a result, Jerald joins the ranks of the unemployed. He learns that a school teacher is wanted in the range country and applies for the position to Ted Winter, a ranchman, who is the school director. Jerald lands the job and also wins the admiration of Ruth Winter, the school director's daughter. Bill Benton, a neighboring rancher, is very much in love with Ruth and her father encourages him. Ruth falls head over ears in love with Jerald, and as she is still attending school, they find many opportunities for courtship. Jerald compels her to stay after school. Old man Winter catches them love-making and promptly fires the schoolmaster. Jerald has his make-up box with him and, after dressing up as a girl, again applies for the position. This time as a schoolma'am, and gets the job. He has a great time spanking cowboy pupils. With the aid of Ruth, who does not suspect his disguise, he rounds up and captures a devastating cattle thief, who is none other than Bill Benton.
