When Lizzie Went to Sea (1915)

Eddie, the barber, is in love with Lizzie, a fruit vendor, and their only cloud in their sky is Tony, who is also in love with the maiden. Lizzie, like the majority of her lovely sex, is prone to indulge in harmless flirtations and this, together with her preference for Eddie, throws Tony into a frenzy of rage. Tony goes to one of the numerous dives and plots with two of the inmates to kidnap Lizzie and bring her to a deserted wharf. The two villains accomplish their purpose but Eddie hears her scream and sets out in pursuit. Just as he is about to grab her he is knocked out and when he revives she is nowhere to be seen. Eddie finally locates her and they escape, closely pursued by the three rascals. Their escape cut off, Eddie takes to a launch and boards a passing steamer. The three find out where Eddie and his love have gone and pursue them to the boat, boarding it unknown to the now happy couple. Lizzie is again captured and about to be taken off in a boat when Eddie misses her. A long chase ensues, in which Eddie is mistaken for the villain by the boat's sailors and is about to be roughly dealt with, when the captain and Lizzie arrive in time. The villains meet their just deserts and are put in irons while Eddie and his sweetheart greet the dying sunset with a kiss.
