Percy's Wooing (1913)

Percy Rosebud, a dainty young creature, is an ardent suitor for the hand of Nellie Gray. In a very curt note Nellie informs him that she can only marry a "manly man," and Percy sets forth to establish a reputation for bravery. He notices a statement in the newspaper that a noted wrestler, "The Terrible Swede," is training for his match with Tabasco. For a liberal consideration the wrestler consents to a private exhibition in which Percy is to become the victor. The performance is given and Percy is acclaimed a hero. The scheming Swede decides to extort money from Percy by threatening to expose him, but Percy turns the tables and makes good his new reputation.
