Count 'Em (1915)
A wealthy heiress in her own name, and exceedingly pretty, Anita Barnes, is sought after by many suitors. Earle, a young American fellow, is her most persistent admirer, but when she hears that a real live Count has written her father asking to marry her, she forgets all else. She goes to an art studio with a photograph of the Count and paints his portrait, but the boys guy her so that she leaves, very angry. She tells her father, who goes to the studio and reprimands the boy sharply. Then they decide to play a practical joke. They send a telegram to Mr. Barnes, purporting to be from the Count himself, saying he has arrived earlier than expected and wishes Barnes and his daughter to call on him at the Plaza at a certain hour. All the boys then disguise themselves as Counts of the most "oui-oui" style, and at the Plaza some startlingly funny complications ensue when they all arrive at the same time. Finally father, mother and Anita get disgusted and leave for home, while the happy outcome is that Anita's heart and love return to her American lover. When the real Count arrives he finds he is very much "de trop," but can only sputter in helpless fury.
