When They Were Co-Eds (1915)

Eddie and Vic have a liking for each other. They are bothered by the crowd and slip off to the rustic bridge at the river for a quiet little chat, but alas, the other boys and girls are anxious to hear the chat and are hid in every conceivable place around. There are too many for the ground and a landslide occurs, precipitating most of them in the river. All are rescued and return to college to receive a panning from the professor. Eddie is made the joke of the boys, and in desperation, offers to bet five dollars that he will go to the girl's side of the school and see them that night. The others jump at the chance to take up the bet. Eddie calls to his aid a small boy, who goes to the girls' dormitory and tells them of Eddie's bet and asks if he may borrow a suit of clothes from one of them. He gets the clothes and gives them to Eddie. Meanwhile, the janitor has been spying on the boys and hears the bet. He immediately goes to the girls' dormitory and hides underneath one of the beds to await developments. The girls have told Eddie to come ahead and prepare a big spread for him. He disguises himself and gives the signal. The girls get out the trusty rope and pull him up. He comes in and takes off his disguise. The janitor sees this, and running in, denounces him. There is quite a scrap, the weapons being everything from pillows to pie. The teachers and professors awake but the girls all get safely back and when the inspection is made they are all "asleep." Eddie, too, gets back in time and the boys also are all "asleep" when the professor comes in. The janitor has stoutly insisted that Eddie was in the girls' room, but the professor makes the rounds himself and sees them all apparently asleep, so tells the janitor he evidently has been drinking too much.
