How Doctor Cupid Won Out (1915)

Dr. Cupid falls in love with the daughter of the police commissioner, not knowing, however, that her father is the police commissioner. He tries to make her acquaintance, but fails. One day as he is driving his car, he sees her crossing the street and hits upon a plan to run her down and then take her to his hospital for treatment, thus bringing her into his power. His plan succeeds. Her father puts Detective Plotz on the case. The detective locates the girl at the hospital and surrounds the place with officers. Dr. Cupid sees his plans are to be ruined and calling his attendants, orders Plotz confined in an insane asylum. Meanwhile he escapes with the girl. Detective Plotz escapes and with his officers starts in pursuit. A merry chase follows. In one place the pursuers are cut off by a freight train and the fugitives are hastily married. They then meet the girl's father and explanations follow. Detective Plotz arrives and is given the merry laugh by all present.
