Those Persistent Old Maids (1914)
Governor Russell flatly refuses the request of a delegation of suffragettes. The suffragettes embarrass him while he attends the theater with his son, Eddie, and Victoria, his prospective daughter-in-law. When the suffragettes find these methods of no avail they appeal to Gibby Gabby, a fancy dancer. They beg the dancer to aid them in kidnapping the governor's son. Gibby Gabby becomes a party to the conspiracy and drops a note to Eddie inviting him to take tea with her the following morning. The young man determines to take this final fling before he is married. Victoria learns of his plans and follows him to the dancer's apartments. Gibby Gabby doses Eddie with a sleeping powder. He is then placed in a trunk and turned over to the suffragettes. Victoria tells the governor and he hires Spy'em, a detective, to rescue Eddie. In transferring the trunk to the train the suffragettes get the wrong baggage check. When they open the trunk, instead of their victim, they find ladies' wearing apparel and a card reading, "Miss Mary Skinner, Rose Apartments, San Diego." All hurry to this address. Miss Skinner discovers Eddie. He escapes into an adjoining room. Spy'em enters. Upon hearing Miss Skinner's approach, he climbs into the trunk. Eddie escapes and promises never again to be led astray by any woman, except Victoria.
