The Pasadena Peach (1912)
Mary, known as "The Pasadena Peach," has many suitors but the favored one is Jack Howard. Jack visits his sweetheart and while they are enjoying a pleasant chat Mary's mother announces the arrival of Algy, a second suitor. The "Peach" tells Algy that she is obliged to do the laundry work and he gallantly volunteers to relieve her of that irksome duty. She leaves him at work and goes to join Jack, only to be met by Ned. Having disposed of Algy in a satisfactory manner, she pursues the same tactics with Ned and has him commence digging a well. Bill, Henry and Bud arrive in turn and are set to work beating the carpets stringing beads and sprinkling the lawn. Marv then joins Jack. Soon the different laborers tire and discover the plot against them. They proceed to the hammock, where Mary is resting and discover that Jack is asleep in his chair. While they plan to cut down the hammock, Mary overhears them. She awakens Jack and they make a "dummy" of pillows, which they place in the hammock. They then hide and have the laugh on the conspirators. It is an exceedingly hot day and the several suitors who have labored so vigorously are nearly exhausted. How the resourceful "Peach" finally disposes of them makes a comical finale to an amusing story.
