Rip Van Winkle Badly Ripped (1915)
Rip Van Winkle has a fortune to leave to his daughter. The burgomeister hears of it and decides that Dora Van Winkle shall marry his son, Piet. He takes Rip into custody and feeds him on salt herring, until he has worked up for the old man a terrible thirst. The burgomeister refuses to give Rip anything to drink until he has signed a paper saying that his daughter shall marry Piet. The deed completed, Rip is let loose. He drinks the river dry. Intoxicated by the stimulating draught, he wanders up into the mountains with his faithful dog. They fall asleep. When, at last, he awakes he finds that his beard has grown four feet long, and that a pigeon has built its nest in it. His dog, also, is three times the size he was when they climbed the mountain. Rip rushes back to town, upsetting everybody by his phenomenally hairy appearance. His wife falls into one faint after another. But Rip is in time to foil the burgomeister's plot, and Dora is given to the man she adores.
