Fatty's Deception (1913)
Fatty becomes infatuated with Emma, a young girl who has every intention of marrying Crosby. Emma and Crosby are both fond of athletics and decide to have some fun with Fatty who is continually "butting in." They promise to make an athlete of him. Fatty, willing to do anything for Emma, turns his front yard into training quarters. He punches the bag and attempts feats on the horizontal bar, much to Emma's amusement. Crosby gets tired of the game and resents Fatty's intrusions but Emma saves the day by matching the two men for a ten-mile race, announcing that she will give her hand to the winner. The race starts off. Emma rides in her auto to the finishing line. Crosby so far outdistances Fatty that he stops to join a party of picnickers and is enjoying some refreshments, when he sees Fatty go by, clinging to the end of an automobile. A short distance from the end of the course Fatty climbs down and trots in. an apparent winner. He denies Crosby's accusations when the latter appears on the scene but the would-be athlete is finally humbled.
