The Lass o' Killikrankie (1914)
When the parents of Laurie Killikrankie realized their daughter was of marriageable age, each sets about to find her a mate. Dame Killikrankie selected Laird MacNutt. The father favored Laird MacNabb. Laurie decided that Tammy, a poor stalwart lad, was the ideal of her dreams. In her rambles she generally managed, with the aid of her dog, to come across this lad. The parents were ignorant of these meetings. The rivals, the Lairds MacNutt and MacNabb, were invited to visit the cottage and press their suit. When the two men arrive, each accompanied by his champion, Laurie flouts them, turns a cold ear to their pleadings. She runs to her room, locks the door and sits by the window. MacNabb is below, talking to Dame Killikrankie. Laurie, taking up the flower pot, drops it upon his head. Grandfather, who happens along, observes this incident. His sympathies being with the Why Did June Run Away? girl and her suitor, an idea suggests itself. He informs MacNutt that MacNabb threw the flower pot. MacNutt, believing him, hurls the pot at MacNabb. The throw is effective. The two men engage each other in a terrific combat. Laurie and the old man look on, enjoyingly. Father and mother rush in to protect their particular choice. They lead the boys into the house, put them to bed and attend to their wounds. Tammy, who has been chased from the house by the father, runs into a sword fight; several men have waylaid a soldier. The assailants, frightened by Tammy's intrusion, flee. As a reward for saving him, the soldier makes Tammy a member of his band. Tammy returns for Laurie at the gathering of the clan as Dame Killikrankie arranges to have Laurie married to MacNutt. Tammy, now a soldier, throws both suitors from the house, overawes the parents and commands the priest, brought by the old grandfather, to marry Laurie to him. The parents give their blessings, as there is nothing better to do, and the clan rejoices at the happy outcome.
