Jane's Husband (1916)

Jane is looking for a husband. She is a stunner for looks, but her get-up is so funny no one takes her seriously, and the handsome R.F.D. driver scorns her proffered love. But Jane is of a determined disposition, so when she discovers that a tramp has broken into her kitchen she has hopes. Sneaking in on him, she cleverly traps him in a closet, then gives him the choice of marrying her or being arrested. But Jane is no fool, and brings a minister to the house while the tramp is still locked in. They are married and Ben makes the best of matters. He sits down to the table and eats everything in sight, but happens to drop a remark to the effect that he "hopes his wife does not find him out." Horrified, Janes drives him from the house, and he strolls into the village bar, where he imbibes much liquid courage. Jane has to sic the dog on him to drive him away. Watching her "man's" rapidly disappearing figure, Jane tearfully promises herself to remain single.
