The Romance Promoters (1920)

Quentard Lorris appoints several trustees to manage the fortune of his daughter Betty, who will inherit millions. The trustees, along with Lorris' secretary, Simon Slane, and suitor, Count Vorilla, are all anxious to get their hands on Betty's money. Jason Downer hires civil engineer Todfield King to do work on Lorris' estate, then Gleason and other trustees accuse King of being a fortune hunter. Although he is fond of Betty, King determines to quit. Soon Downer appears, telling him that Betty is in danger from Count Vorilla. After a struggle, King rescues Betty from the Count and his gang, and the two come to an understanding. Finally, Lorris and Downer arrive, and Lorris reveals that he was testing King to see if he would be a fit husband for his daughter.
