The Sneak (1913)
Finding that Elise Dupont doesn't favor his suit, Harry Willis determines to gain her consent through her irresponsible young brother John. The boy is flattered by the older man's consideration, and when Willis invites him to accompany him to a gambling resort, he readily accepts. John loses his money and accepts an I.O.U. proffered by the proprietor. The incident is discovered by Arthur Ballard, a straightforward young man who stands highly in Elise's estimation and hopes to win her hand. Ballard secretly purchases the obligation from the proprietor but is arrested when the place is raided. The next day he is publicly disgraced and Elise's father bans him from the house. Willis now believes that his plan will succeed. Again he induces John to visit the resort and this time Willis gives the boy his personal I.O.U. A few days later he insists upon payment and suggests that John take the money from his father's safe. When burglars enter the Dupont home and rob the safe, things look black for John, who has really secured the money from Ballard, but Dolly, Elise and John's little sister, through an unusual circumstance, exposes Willis' plot and brings about the capture of the burglars, Mr. Dupont is brought to a realization of Ballard's sterling qualities and withdraws his objection to the young man's suit for Elise's hand.
