The Girl in Lower 9 (1916)
Andy Dix, a windmill agent, is on the way west on the fast train. His seatmate seems to be in distress and Andy asks her what the trouble is. The girl, Tillie, answers him in Swedish, which he is unable to understand Dix makes the acquaintance of Olaf Hanson, who is also on the train. He learns that Olaf is a Swede and he tells of Tillie. Olaf talks to Tillie, who is happy to meet a countryman, and he learns she is on her way to the middle west, where her father is seriously ill. Olaf asks her about funds and Tillie tells him she is all right and displays a large roll of bills. Tillie's first night in a sleeping car is very uncomfortable; she cannot sleep, and twice she thinks someone is watching her, but is not sure. Finally she doses off. When she awakes her money is missing and she hears Dix leaving. She suspects him and follows out. Dix sees he is followed and takes a taxi. Tillie follows. He finally eludes her and Tillie misses her train. She wanders about the town until exhausted. At last she finds the Swedish Welfare League, who take care of her. Her father is, meanwhile, worrying over the non-arrival of his daughter. He had received word that she was on her way, but the train arrived without her. Nels Ormsted cheers the old man up. Finally they receive word of Tillie's whereabouts and learn that she is on her way to the farm. Nels is ordered to meet the train. Dix is in the country selling windmills and has been doing very well. After securing several orders he sets out for the station. Nels meets Tillie, who has started to walk to the farm, and the two become acquainted. Tillie tells him of her troubles and how Dix stole her money. They meet Dix walking on the road and Nels makes him return the money. There is a happy meeting between the father and daughter, and the sight of Tillie acts as a tonic on the sick man. Through the days of harvesting Nels and Tillie are together often and their interest in each other grows with the passing days.
