Those Were the Happy Days (1914)
Eddie and the girl are in love. The girl's father objects to Eddie as a son-in-law. An elopement is planned, quite the thing under such circumstances, and it is carried into effect. The marriage is really performed, but then father pops up at the wrong moment and spoils it all. He separates the pair, abuses the boy and sends his daughter off to a girl's boarding school. At this turn in affairs Eddie is somewhat flabbergasted. He is at his wits' end when an advertisement suggests an idea. The advertisement is for a middle-aged professor at the same boarding school where his lady-love is holding forth. Eddie disguises himself for the part, applies and secures the position. For a time matters run smoothly. Then the janitor observes, one night, the girls smuggling eatables into their sleeping rooms. Accordingly, he tells the mistress of the school about it. The gallant Eddie overhears, and having the welfare of the girls at heart, he hastens up to warn them. Unfortunately, he is unable to make his escape from the girl's room before the arrival of the mistress and the janitor. He seeks refuge under the bed. He is discovered and dragged from his hiding place. Then there is a struggle. Eddie and his wife make good their escape and seek refuge in the office. The girl's father, meanwhile, has called to learn what progress his daughter is making. It is his lot to enter the office about the same time that Eddie and his wife do. There is recognition, surprise, anger. Exciting scenes follow, but youth and love will have its way. Explanations are finally made and the girl's father forgives.
