The Clock Struck One (1917)
Bess' heart is torn with conflicting emotions. She always had pictured herself the wife of a rich man, yet she now finds herself deeply in love with a poor youth. She finally conquers her conscientious scruples and permits herself to become engaged to a rich young fellow. They elope. Jerry, the poor youth, scents the scheme, and follows them. After a wild chase Jerry rushes into a roadhouse to find Bess imprisoned. The youth who promised to become her husband has revealed himself to her as a social viper. He and Jerry struggle, the latter coming out a victor. Jerry rescues Bess and takes her home. At the door his landlady hands him a letter notifying him he had won a small fortune in a guessing contest. Wedding bells for Bess and Jerry follow.
