Otto, the Gardener (1916)
Otto is a gardener working in the gardens of the lovely and accomplished Lady Dora. Otto is in love with her, but, of course, his station in life forbids him to even speak to her. He sends her flowers, signing, " Your Adorer." The Lady is anxious to know who her unknown admirer is. Lady Dora is much courted, but she will have none of the millionaires who pay her such ardent attention and dismisses their love offerings saying that when she marries she will marry a prince. James Gordon and William Kent, two of her latest admirers, who have been rejected, plan revenge. On being told of the gardener's love for the Lady Dora, they go to him and tell him how easy it is to realize his dreams. They tell him they will furnish him with funds to dress, to buy her presents and then he can marry her. Otto falls for this, and they dress him as a prince. He is taken into the mansion where he is introduced to Lady Dora. She falls in love with him, and he tells her of his castles, etc. Then Otto regrets his bargain and goes to the men, saying he is through, but they urge him on by filling his pockets with money. They only await until she finds out he is not a prince. A great reception is held in honor of the prince. He, of course, is funny and he is only found out when his mother, who has learned of his acts, enters the mansion and lets the "cat out of the bag." Otto is kicked out and loses his job.
