A Queen for an Hour (1915)

Jane, the romantic daughter of a hard-working laundress, has a double. She is Anita, daughter of a very wealthy man, and in love with Ralph, a young clubman, but her father wishes her to marry a fussy little Count with a title. Meeting Jane face to face Anita asks Jane how she would like to change places with her so she can elope with Ralph, and of course, Jane says yes. The Count is to arrive at Anita's home that night, so hurried preparations are made, and Jane is cleverly substituted for Anita. The Count proposes, and to his huge joy, is promptly accepted by Jane. Anita and Ralph are married and return to her father's home for forgiveness just as Jane is on the way out. Confusion reigns and when Jane explains, the Count and Anita's father rave like madmen. Fortunately. Tom, Jane's once scorned beau, arrives on the scene and carries off Jane in triumph, while dad makes the best of things by giving the newlyweds his blessing.
